The spotlight on local authority housing has never been sharper. We know it’s a tough environment, but it is also hugely fulfilling, because you get to make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of residents. And in this role, your influence will be felt right across a dynamic, diverse, and vibrant city.

While this is a senior position with responsibility for neighbourhood services across around 40,000 homes, it is also a post where the value of high-quality housing management is very well understood and firmly anchored within an ambitious strategic framework.

We are seeking a senior professional with extensive experience of housing management and neighbourhood services, gained in either a local authority or registered provider setting. You will have a strong track record of service improvement, including raising quality and performance, and importantly, ensuring residents, staff and partners are engaged and committed throughout the journey.

The regulatory landscape rightly prioritises safety, compliance, and resident engagement. At Sheffield, you will find a Council that shares this focus—not simply to satisfy regulators, but because these are the building blocks that make neighbourhoods safe, thriving, and sustainable.

If you share our view of what housing management can and should deliver—providing residents with safe, high-quality homes; supporting communities and neighbourhoods to thrive; and ensuring equity in opportunity and access—then we would love to hear from you.
