This is a senior Director-level local authority role and is explicitly strategic - not operational. The Council is looking for someone who has previously held Director-level accountability within a local authority housing environment and can operate confidently at the Executive, Cabinet and political interface. The Context This interim appointment provides leadership continuity across the housing standards, assets and investment portfolio during a critical period. The role is not a project, programme, or consultancy assignment - it requires credible statutory leadership, sound decision-making and the confidence to operate at the most senior levels of a politically sensitive organisation. 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. You will lead a workforce of c.160 staff (up to 7 direct reports) and oversee services affecting approximately 22,000 council homes, alongside significant revenue and capital investment programmes.

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.
