The business has built an exceptional reputation through a clear, results-focused formula: operational excellence, accountability, and pace. It has evolved from its regional roots into a nationally recognised player, trusted by major social housing providers, local authorities, and large-scale student accommodation operators. The company continues to expand nationally while retaining the family values, transparency, and "can-do" attitude that underpin its success. This is not a corporate environment - it is a high-performance, entrepreneurial business that values action, ownership, and delivery. Decisions are made quickly. Leaders are expected to be visible, engaged, and operationally involved. It's a culture built on credibility through results, where respect is earned through delivery, not title. The Opportunity The Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids will take full operational and commercial leadership of one of the company's largest business areas.

You will personally drive service improvement, customer satisfaction, and workforce engagement while maintaining commercial control. You will act as the operational heartbeat of the business - setting the tone for pace, standards, and accountability, and ensuring that our client's reputation for reliability and responsiveness continues to set it apart from competitors. Ideal Candidate You are an operational leader first and foremost - commercially astute, decisive, and hands-on. You have come up through the ranks, led front-line delivery, and now oversee large service operations where quality, customer outcomes, and financial performance are measured daily. You lead through credibility and presence, not position. You take ownership, build trust, and are at your best where the pressure is high and results are visible. You'll bring a track record of running multi-million-pound business units or divisions, leading large, distributed operational teams, and delivering measurable improvement in customer satisfaction, service reliability, and profitability. Relevant Backgrounds You will come from a service-based, operationally intensive industry where success depends on visible leadership, measurable delivery, and client trust.

Property Maintenance, Engineering, or Construction Services: Multi-trade or M&E repairs and refurbishment across housing, commercial, or student accommodation portfolios. Utilities or Infrastructure Services: Large-scale, regulated field operations with high compliance and customer-impact sensitivity. Outsourced Service Providers (with tangible delivery operations): Multi-contract businesses where service quality and responsiveness directly drive retention and growth. Third-Party Contract Logistics / Supply Chain Operations: Multi-site, time-critical delivery environments with full P&L and people accountability. Multi-Site Manufacturing, Production, or Automotive Services (with technical or trades workforces): Operational leadership across multiple plants or service centres, focused on performance, productivity, and quality. Aviation MRO or Complex Multi-Site Technical Services: Maintenance and repair environments requiring pace, precision, and compliance.

The Person Proven ability to lead large, front-line teams and manage multi-million-pound P&Ls. Hands-on, visible, and engaged - a leader who earns credibility on the ground. Skilled in troubleshooting and operational problem-solving; proactive in addressing performance and client issues.

Commercially disciplined - able to balance service quality with efficiency and cost control. Resilient, pragmatic, and unflustered under pressure. Straightforward, clear, and consistent in expectations and decision-making. You will lead from the front, inspire confidence through action, and bring a winning mindset to every challenge. Selection Process & Expectations This appointment is business-critical and will involve an intensive, multi-stage selection process. Candidates should expect to demonstrate tangible, evidence-based achievements at each stage. We are seeking proven winners - operational leaders who can clearly show how they have delivered measurable improvements in: Service and operational performance Business growth and margin improvement People development and succession planning Customer satisfaction and retention Supporting commercial teams to secure and retain contracts through outstanding delivery Applicants who can provide specific, quantifiable examples of where they have achieved these results will be prioritised. This is a role for a doer, not a talker - a leader who leads by example and produces results through visibility, accountability, and action.

Head of Housing Strategy, Insight and Performance We're looking for a strategic, inclusive and forward-thinking leader to join Southampton City Council as Housing's Head of Strategy, Insight and Performance (SIP). This is a new and influential role, central to building the systems, insight and collaboration that will help Housing deliver better outcomes for residents across the city About the team The SIP function is new and central to Housing's operating model, which is based on a commissioning approach. Its purpose is to make Housing work as a coherent system - where we understand and prioritise demand, make best use of supply, and ensure every part of the service contributes to better outcomes for tenants and residents. SIP provides the backbone for how Housing plans, learns and improves. It brings together strategy, evidence, assurance and change into one coherent framework that supports purposeful decision-making and system-wide accountability. The function helps to align commissioning and delivery - ensuring that demand is clearly understood, resources are targeted effectively, and the supply chain, both internal and external, is used to best effect. SIP also helps Housing connect more effectively with the wider Council and partners, aligning priorities and insights across finance, customer services, regeneration, and asset strategy, as well as with external agencies and communities. This is not a traditional command role. Success depends on working through influence, trust and collaboration - aligning people and systems around shared goals and building the culture and capability needed for sustainable improvement. About the role In August 2024, the Regulator for Social Housing identified serious failings in how we met the consumer standards. We are using that judgement as a catalyst for long-term improvement - building a housing system that is self-aware, accountable and continually learning, so residents experience lasting improvements in their homes and neighbourhoods. As Head of SIP, you'll be a key member of the Housing Directorate Senior Leadership Team, leading a small but critical function covering strategy, policy, performance and assurance, change and improvement, and organisational capability. You'll ensure Housing makes the best use of its resources to deliver the greatest possible impact for residents - connecting priorities, investment and outcomes across services. You'll work with finance colleagues to plan, monitor and evaluate how budgets are used across the whole Housing system, helping ensure that every pound contributes to safer homes, better services and long-term sustainability. You'll align priorities and plans across the directorate, ensuring strategy and delivery are joined up and that our performance framework links purpose, critical success factors, measures and learning. You'll equip managers and teams with the insight, structures and tools to improve performance and manage risk. You'll also help shape the future of Housing in Southampton - using data, evidence and engagement to inform decisions, guide investment and focus effort where it makes the most difference. You'll lead through the Housing Drumbeat, ensuring governance drives learning and improvement rather than compliance alone. Success will depend on working with others - across Housing, the wider Council and partner organisations - to deliver impact that matters for residents. Together with the other Heads of Service, you'll help make Housing work as one coherent, learning system that connects commissioning with delivery. You'll lead teams to keep daily performance on track while driving deeper change - co-designing better ways of working, digital tools, integrated structures and a learning culture that supports the long-term realisation of Southampton's Housing strategy and wider city vision. Everything you do will contribute to Southampton's vision to be a city of opportunity where everyone thrives through more equal, healthier, safer, growing and greener communities. Key responsibilities include: Embed and improve the culture and practice within all Housing functions as set out in the Target Operating Model. Agree the strategic direction, roadmap of change, shared goals and priorities for Housing and budget (operating and capital) - based on horizon scanning, SCC Corporate Plan, Housing Strategy, Asset Strategy, the Change Story and priority of customer needs Embed structure of the performance framework (linking purpose, critical success factors, kpis' and commentary on unintended consequences) within Housing functions You will build relationships and collaborate with leaders across the Council, other public sector bodies and tenants to scan the horizon, agree priorities and mutual strategy. For further information about this role please view the job description. About you: We're looking for an experienced and inspiring leader to shape and deliver modern, efficient services that meet the needs of our tenants and communities.

The company continues to expand nationally while retaining the family values, transparency, and "can-do" attitude that underpin its success.

Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids Location: Northern Home Counties / East Midlands Border (with regional and national travel) Salary: 200,000- 220,000 base + performance bonus Total Package Potential: 300,000 (including performance bonus, car allowance, healthcare, and executive benefits) About the Business This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, privately owned property services company delivering responsive repairs, maintenance, and refurbishment services across the UK. The business has built an exceptional reputation through a clear, results-focused formula: operational excellence, accountability, and pace. It has evolved from its regional roots into a nationally recognised player, trusted by major social housing providers, local authorities, and large-scale student accommodation operators. The company continues to expand nationally while retaining the family values, transparency, and "can-do" attitude that underpin its success. This is not a corporate environment - it is a high-performance, entrepreneurial business that values action, ownership, and delivery. Decisions are made quickly. Leaders are expected to be visible, engaged, and operationally involved. It's a culture built on credibility through results, where respect is earned through delivery, not title. The Opportunity The Divisional Managing Director - Repairs or Voids will take full operational and commercial leadership of one of the company's largest business areas. Reporting to the Managing Director, you will oversee multiple regions, contracts, and customer portfolios, ensuring service excellence, profitability, and performance consistency across the division. You will lead and develop a team of Business Unit Directors, Contract Managers, and operational delivery leaders, mentoring and coaching them to strengthen capability and ensure succession as the business extends its national reach. This is a high-visibility operational leadership role, not a detached strategic post. You will be regularly in the field, with teams and clients, diagnosing performance issues early, resolving service challenges, and reinforcing delivery standards. You will personally drive service improvement, customer satisfaction, and workforce engagement while maintaining commercial control. You will act as the operational heartbeat of the business - setting the tone for pace, standards, and accountability, and ensuring that our client's reputation for reliability and responsiveness continues to set it apart from competitors. Ideal Candidate You are an operational leader first and foremost - commercially astute, decisive, and hands-on. You have come up through the ranks, led front-line delivery, and now oversee large service operations where quality, customer outcomes, and financial performance are measured daily. You lead through credibility and presence, not position. You take ownership, build trust, and are at your best where the pressure is high and results are visible. You'll bring a track record of running multi-million-pound business units or divisions, leading large, distributed operational teams, and delivering measurable improvement in customer satisfaction, service reliability, and profitability. Relevant Backgrounds You will come from a service-based, operationally intensive industry where success depends on visible leadership, measurable delivery, and client trust. Potential source sectors include: Facilities Management (FM): Managing reactive and planned maintenance, field teams, and SLA-driven contracts. Property Maintenance, Engineering, or Construction Services: Multi-trade or M&E repairs and refurbishment across housing, commercial, or student accommodation portfolios. Utilities or Infrastructure Services: Large-scale, regulated field operations with high compliance and customer-impact sensitivity. Outsourced Service Providers (with tangible delivery operations): Multi-contract businesses where service quality and responsiveness directly drive retention and growth. Third-Party Contract Logistics / Supply Chain Operations: Multi-site, time-critical delivery environments with full P&L and people accountability. Multi-Site Manufacturing, Production, or Automotive Services (with technical or trades workforces): Operational leadership across multiple plants or service centres, focused on performance, productivity, and quality. Aviation MRO or Complex Multi-Site Technical Services: Maintenance and repair environments requiring pace, precision, and compliance. Each of these environments demands what our client values most: pace, accountability, operational ownership, and high-trust leadership that drives people and performance.

NOTE: Please include notice period and salary expectations in application letter. Job Title Communications Manager Location Home based (Home working with regular meetings in London) Salary £35,000+ Hours Full Time, permanent Reports to Chief Policy Officer About Parentkind As one of the largest federated charities in the UK, with arguably greater reach into the lives of families and educational settings than any other non-Government organisation, Parentkind is on a bold and urgent mission: to support, champion, and empower parents to be partners in their children s education and wellbeing. Although best known for our support of almost 24,000 Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), Parent Councils, and Schools, helping them build strong school communities whilst they raise approaching £140 million each year to enhance children s education, our work stretches far beyond the school gates. Parentkind is building a powerful movement that recognises parental engagement not as a nicety, but a necessity. Supporting parents beyond the school gate In recent years, families have faced a series of compounding challenges: the cost-of-living crisis, rising child poverty, and deepening educational inequality. These pressures have left many parents struggling to meet basic needs let alone feel confident engaging in their child s learning journey. Parentkind has responded to this moment with compassion, agility and purpose, through a series of transformative campaigns, resources, and partnerships. Our No Cold Child initiative with FatFace stepped in to address a stark statistic: over 150,000 children in the UK do not own a winter coat due to poverty. Through our trusted relationships with schools we distributed 10,000 warm, high-quality coats worth £600,000 to the children who needed them most. Winning the Business Charity Awards Fashion & Retail Award, and shortlisted for two further awards, the campaign has been praised not just for providing warmth, but for restoring dignity, inclusion, and school readiness to thousands of children. The All Dressed Up campaign developed with World Book Day and Rubies Masquerade confronted the often-overlooked issue of financial exclusion on key celebration days. More than 100,000 free dressing up costumes worth £1.34 million were delivered to children from low-income families. By enabling participation in events like World Book Day, we helped spark imagination, joy, and belonging for children who might otherwise feel left out boosting self-esteem and supporting a positive connection to learning. Furthermore, helping attract children into school on a day which often sees struggling parents keep their children at home. Alongside these national campaigns, Parentkind supports families year-round through a growing suite of programmes designed to inform, prepare and empower parents. Our Be School Ready programme offers crucial guidance and confidence to parents preparing their children for the leap into primary education. With a mix of practical advice, developmental tips, and reassurance, through the distribution of 150,000 copies of Be School Ready and an online campaign, it supports families at one of the most formative moments in their child s life. We also deliver a wide-ranging series of live expert webinars and parent-friendly resources, covering topics such as managing anxiety, supporting special educational needs, navigating school transitions, and building home-school partnerships. These resources, developed in consultation with experts and rooted in lived parent experience, equip families to feel informed and empowered, no matter what challenges arise. Our direct support of schools Our collaboration with Asda on Cashpot for Schools is another example of unlocking support at scale. This innovative community-led funding model allowed shoppers to nominate and fund their local schools simply through everyday spending. This campaign has generated £5.78 million for schools during the past twelve months, supporting everything from basic classroom supplies to vital extracurricular programmes and pupil wellbeing initiatives. Also shortlisted for a Business Charity Award, it is already a model for community-driven philanthropy. In April, we launched our Parent-Friendly Schools Accreditation Programme, designed to formally recognise schools that go above and beyond in fostering positive, inclusive relationships with parents. The accreditation celebrates schools that actively listen to parent voices, make engagement easy and accessible, and embed family partnership in their culture. It is a practical and inspiring tool to drive long-term change in the sector and offers a roadmap for schools wanting to strengthen their community. Our focus on Policy & Research Our work is grounded in evidence. Since 2023, we have conducted the UK s largest annual parent survey: the National Parent Survey. With approaching 6,000 participants providing 130,000 bits of data to provide invaluable insights into the struggles, concerns, hopes and fears of parents. The findings are fed directly into government consultations and have already informed national debates on school funding, attendance, mental health support, SEND provision, and curriculum reform. In each of the past two years the number of policymakers, educators, parents and researchers accessing the National Parent Survey exceeded seven thousand, and the survey featured in more than two hundred media outlets each year. Excitingly, the Times & Sunday Times are partnering with Parentkind to raise the profile even further in September 2025 and the survey will be launched at a lighthouse event featuring the Secretary of State for Education (Bridget Phillipson), the Ofsted Chief Inspector of Schools (Sir Martyn Oliver), the CEO of Mumsnet (Justine Roberts), the Children s Commissioner (Dame Rachel De Souza), and our own Chief Executive (Jason Elsom). In addition to the National Parent Survey, Parentkind undertakes representative polling of parents throughout the year on a variety of important topics, which increasingly find exposure in the media and policy discussion. Parentkind provides the secretariat for the Westminster APPG for Parents and the Stormont APG for Parental Participation in Education. Two very successful parliamentary groups bringing together policymakers and a variety of stakeholders to consider the challenges faced by parents and act as a voice for them through a variety of policymakers. Our Media Engagement Since becoming recognised as the UK s largest parent charity, with likely more groups and frontline volunteers than the Scouts or Girlguiding, Parentkind has gained increasing prominence in the media. Beyond the reach of the National Parent Survey and our regular polling, Parentkind receives frequent requests for quotes of reflection and input by media in relation to their journalism and from Government and non-Government entities in support of policy announcements. Beyond this, the Parentkind community of volunteers and PTAs share local or regional media announcements of their own. Whether or not it celebrating the completion of large projects they have invested countless hours and thousands of pounds into realising, or the community event they have worked into the night to deliver for their school communities. It will be your role to take this much further, gaining increasing exposure for the work of Parentkind, its community, and parents more broadly. If you believe, like we do, that when parents matter, children succeed, we d love to hear from you. What we are looking for Someone with a nose for news and an understanding what makes a newsworthy opinion poll that will hit the headline and go big on social media. We are a small, fast paced team, there are no line management responsibilities attached to the role. We re looking for someone with a roll up your sleeves up and get on with it mentality. Being able to demonstrate you can sell our parent voice research and amazing existing data to media across broadcast, social media and print media Being able to lead and deliver a plan to raise our profile on social media, broadcast and in print media A good understanding of the challenges faced by children and families, education debates and education policy, we are the voice of parents. We are a cross party charity and we work with all parties, we want someone who understands that approach and brings it to their work. Someone who can to respond to social media debates at pace and make sure are part of the debate. Experience of writing compelling written documents when 100 words would make a stronger case than 1,000. You can bring evidence to life and make an argument to convince. Someone with experience of appearing on broadcast media and willing to be a talking head for Parentkind as required. This is not essential, but it would be great to have someone willing to do this. Your mission is to massively increase our online, in print and social media presence with a specific focus on policy, research and impact, to make us the highest profile parent charity in the UK. We have a huge amount of data on what parents think and we need you to get it seen. This is a great job for someone who wants to grab hold of a comms function and make it their own. Parentkind is a UK wide charity, you will be expected to support our work in other parts of the UK where necessary.
