The Role of Interim Director of Housing Standards, Assets & Investment: Reporting directly to the Executive Director of Housing & Commercial Partnerships, you will be a key member of the Housing Leadership Team with responsibility for strategic oversight of housing standards, compliance, asset management and investment.

It is a rare opportunity to step into a true statutory Director role at one of London's most high-profile councils, where judgement, credibility and political awareness matter as much as technical housing expertise. If you have previously operated as a Director within a local authority housing environment and are interested in discussing this interim opportunity, we would welcome a confidential conversation. Please apply or contact Nikki Kinsey, Group Director, at Sellick Partnership, to discuss suitability before submission. Sellick Partnership is proud to be an inclusive and accessible recruitment business and we support applications from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances.
