Shortlisting For The Post Of Director of Housing Neighbourhoods And Customer Services

The committee met to choose which candidates to shortlist for interview for the role of Director of Housing Neighbourhoods and Customer Services.

This is a new role at the council, created following a decision to no longer have an interim Director of Housing Management.

The requirement for innovation and expertise to manage some of the most diverse housing stock in the UK whilst meeting the Regulator of Social Housing Standards expectations is of significant strategic importance. As a result, the interim Director of Housing Management role has been removed. Instead, this role (Director of Housing Neighbourhoods and Customer Services) and the Director of Housing Property & Asset Management roles will report directly to the Corporate Director role to reflect the size of the corporate opportunity.
