Head of Planned Programmes and Compliance

I'm currently recruiting for two new Property Services appointments within a social housing provider and wanted to reach out to people within my network before we go any wider. The organisation is going through a period of improvement and is looking for people who can hit the ground running, be visible within the service and help strengthen compliance, governance and operational delivery. There are two opportunities: Head of Planned Programmes & Compliance This is the more senior appointment and will take leadership across planned programmes and the seven key areas of landlord compliance, alongside the wider performance and regulatory environment. They're looking for someone who can: Provide strong leadership across landlord compliance, planned programmes, governance and assurance. Maintain oversight across the seven compliance areas, ensuring the organisation remains aligned with regulatory change and evolving competence requirements. Turn compliance information and data into clear, evidence-based assurance and reporting. Strengthen systems, processes, culture and accountability across the service. Be visible and operationally engaged, working with teams and visiting sites rather than approaching compliance purely from a strategic or desk-based perspective. Work collaboratively within a BME housing environment, engaging effectively with colleagues, residents and stakeholders. Compliance Surveyor This is a much more hands-on role, suited to someone who enjoys being out within the stock and getting involved directly in operational compliance. They're looking for someone who can: Carry out site-based compliance inspections and surveying activity. Identify issues, follow actions through and help ensure works are completed to the appropriate standards. Produce detailed, accurate and evidence-based reports that stand up to scrutiny. Work collaboratively with operational teams, contractors and residents. Understand the importance of good data, record keeping and the audit trail behind compliance decisions. Bring a practical approach rather than relying solely on systems and desktop assessments. For both appointments, the organisation is particularly interested in people who understand that strong compliance is about more than ticking boxes. They want people who can get into the detail, understand what's happening operationally and translate regulatory requirements into better delivery for residents. If either opportunity sounds relevant, reply to this email with your latest CV and let me know which of the two positions you'd like to discuss along with confirming you are happy for me to solely represent you for the role of choice. I'm speaking with the organisation about the finer details of the brief and rates tomorrow, but I'd like to start identifying suitable people now. If your background looks aligned, I'll give you a call to run through what we know and discuss whether it makes sense to progress
