Group Chief Executive
Job Details
At Selwood Housing, we provide local affordable homes
Since our inception in 2007, Selwood Housing has continued to thrive as an independent housing association firmly focused on serving local communities. Today, we own and manage over 7,200 homes for rent and shared ownership, serving communities in Wiltshire, Mendip, and Bath and North East Somerset, and we are growing – our ambition is to build 1,700 more affordable homes by 2034 as part of our effort to tackle the housing crisis.
We are very much a customer driven organisation with a proven track record of involving customers in how we are run and operate, and of listening closely to our customers and delivering high-quality homes and services in a way that works for them. We launched a new strategy in 2025 and our new Chief Executive will find a solid foundation for what we know is an ambitious agenda, but we also expect that the right person for this leadership role will be excited by that. You will find a very strong executive team that will support you as our new CE and a strong and well embedded positive culture throughout the organisation.
You will be an enthusiastic social housing leader ready to continue the great work and outcomes we have already achieved, but able to hold and articulate a clear vision and to inspire our teams to go further in delivering their best for our customers and communities. You will bring dynamism, innovation and new ideas around doing things differently to better deliver on our ambitions rooted in being an independent, local and community-based housing provider. We operate with open and transparent relationships here at Selwood Housing as we know that’s what leads to the best customer outcomes and you will share that way of working.
If you believe as we do that a local, community-based approach is the best way to deliver affordable housing and positive outcomes for communities and you are inspired by what we do then we’d love to hear from you.
