At ISHA, community and neighbourhood mean everything to us, and our roots run deep in the areas of North London that we serve. Founded over 90 years ago, we provide around 2,500 homes for over 5,000 people across Islington, Hackney, and Waltham Forest and continue to build on our history of service by offering a wide range of housing choices. With a new corporate strategy, newly crafted organisational values, and a refreshed leadership team, this is an exciting time to join us.

We are excited to be seeking a new Development and Building Safety. A broad portfolio role, this post is responsible for leading development, building safety, and compliance as well as sales, commercial services, procurement and energy. The successful candidate will guide an active development programme delivering around 50 new homes annually in highly competitive London markets, while also supporting wider sector objectives through ISHA’s influential role within the North River Alliance. Responsibility for an established building safety and compliance function will include driving continued improvement, strengthening assurance processes and ensuring resident safety remains at the forefront of service delivery.

An accomplished leader within the social housing sector, you will bring significant experience of building safety and compliance and a solid understanding of development and regeneration activity. This could suit an existing Executive Director seeking a fresh challenge, or a high-performing senior leader with the capability and ambition to step into their first executive-level appointment.
