Divisional Director Housing and Neighbourhoods

Nowhere is changing more or changing faster than Barking & Dagenham. We're at the heart of Europe's biggest regeneration programme, and we intend to fully embrace the possibilities it opens up. Our new delivery model will see housing repairs and maintenance back in-house, and we're forging an even closer relationship with Environmental Services to drive up quality and better meet the needs of our residents. Could you lead these changes? We need a talented housing professional with experience, enthusiasm and resilience.

For a confidential discussion about the role, please contact Yvonne Skingle at Penna Executive Search on 07817 418 039.
