This role is a great opportunity to help shape the future of the housing service, influence strategic decision‑making, and ensure that the best possible outcomes are delivered for residents as part of a busy and forward-thinking housing service. This role will suit an experienced and motivated Policy and Performance Manager, as they lead policy development, performance monitoring, and strategic analysis across the Housing Service.
