Senior Director - Residential Value and Risk Advisory - Affordable Housing

This job is with JLL, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Please do not contact the recruiter directly.

We are looking for new Directors to join the Affordable Housing team within our UK Residential Value and Risk Advisory business

The Affordable Housing team in JLL's UK Residential Value and Risk Advisory business needs new Directors in growth roles on the loan security valuation side of the team.  Busy, growing, and very successful in our market, the team needs additional, skilled valuers who can take primary responsibility for client relationships, business generation, and complex portfolio valuations of social housing across the country.  Social housing sector experience is a prerequisite for these roles.

Working closely with the national team head, these new roles would suit people who are well-versed in the sector, with existing client relationships with both lenders and borrowers, and who have both the reputation and skill to develop and sustain those relationships, whilst adding new clients to our business through the sector's regular networking opportunities. 

In addition, we are looking for seasoned professionals who are highly proficient with DCF valuation models, numerate, and with a keen eye for detail.  Fluent report writing and strong communication skills are essential, coupled with an empathy for the social housing sector and the customers it serves.

These roles can be based in any of our regional offices, or in our head office in Central London, but with flexible, hybrid working.  Our preference is to enhance our regional presence, especially in those offices where we do not already have representation through our national Affordable Housing team (especially in Bristol, Exeter, Cardiff or Nottingham, but equally welcome in Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds).  Some travel regionally and nationally will be required.  The roles could be in the same, or different, locations – we are open-minded.

Required or desirable skills and experience for this role:

• MRICS qualification (preferred, but not essential) and a minimum of 5 years' PQE.
• RICS Registered Valuer (if qualified – as above, preferred, but not essential).
• Strong experience in the valuation of social housing for a range of purposes.
• Fluent user of MS Excel, including data analysis and some financial modelling.
• Comfortable handling large amounts of data.
• Excellent written English, with the ability to produce high quality, accurate reports in MS Word, with impeccable attention to detail.
• Experience of successfully managing client relationships and instructions, including being able to explain and justify the approach and assumptions adopted to clients.
• Experience in leading both junior and senior colleagues, and supervising their work.
• Ability to work under pressure and to manage multiple, competing priorities.
• Strong work ethic, with a demonstrable commitment to client service.
• Enthusiastic and self-motivated team player.
