Harrogate Housing Association is a respected, financially strong and genuinely local organisation with a proud history of providing high-quality homes and services for people across Harrogate and the surrounding area.

Deeply rooted in the communities we serve, we are committed to making a positive difference to local residents’ lives and helping our neighbourhoods thrive. Following the planned retirement of our long-standing and highly respected Chief Executive, we are seeking an exceptional leader to guide us through the next stage of our journey.

Working closely with the Board, the Chief Executive will provide strategic and inspirational leadership, ensuring the Association remains financially resilient, well governed and firmly focused on meeting local housing needs and delivering excellent outcomes for residents and communities. You will lead the delivery of our strategic ambitions, foster a high-performing culture and strengthen our reputation as a trusted local organisation and influential voice within the region.

We are looking for a credible and values-driven leader with strong commercial and financial acumen, supported by a professional accountancy qualification. You will bring experience of strategic leadership, organisational change and stakeholder engagement, together with the ability to inspire confidence and build strong relationships with residents, colleagues, partners and stakeholders across Harrogate, North Yorkshire and beyond.

Whether you are an experienced executive leader ready for your first Chief Executive appointment or already leading an organisation, this is an outstanding opportunity to shape the future of a well-regarded local housing association, champion the interests of local communities and make a lasting difference to the lives of residents.

If you share our commitment to excellent resident services, strong local communities and social purpose, we would be delighted to hear from you.
