Lichfield District Council is building something from the ground up. We’re looking for an experienced Interim who has built or transformed a housing management function within a Registered Provider/social housing environment. This isn't a role where you'll inherit a housing service. You'll build one.

About the role: Lichfield District Council is a Registered Provider expanding its role as a provider of affordable rented homes. For the first time, the Council will directly own and manage a growing portfolio of general needs homes, alongside its existing temporary accommodation. We are entering an exciting new chapter. As a Registered Provider, this brings a significant opportunity and responsibility.

Who are we looking for: We are looking for an exceptional Housing Management Implementation Manager to lead the design and implementation of a modern, compliant, and financially sustainable housing management function from the ground up. You'll lead the development and implementation of the Council's landlord functions, ensuring that the service is:

• Compliant
• Customer-focused
• Financially sustainable
• Operationally effective
• Fit for the future

Key Responsibilities: You will need significant experience within a Registered Provider, Local authority, or social/affordable housing environment, with a proven track record of establishing, redesigning, or transforming housing management services. You'll bring substantial experience of:

• Managing social or affordable housing
• Establishing or redesigning housing management services
• Housing policies and procedures
• Tenancy management
• Housing management systems
• Landlord and tenant legislation
• Financial modelling and service budgets
• Complex cross-service projects
• Organisational change

Why Join Us? This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of Lichfield District – a place with a rich heritage, a growing economy, and ambitious plans for the years ahead. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking council that values innovation, community impact, and professional growth.

Benefits of working for us: Friendly and supportive environment underpinned by our values. Hybrid working including flexibility around working patterns. Free onsite Parking. Fantastic modern offices. Short walk from the Train station and easily commutable by car.
