Head of Housing Works We're looking for a proven leader to join Southampton City Council as the Head of Housing Works. This is a rare opportunity to lead a large and fast-paced in-house direct labour organisation (DLO) - Southampton's preferred and much prized delivery partner for maintaining and improving over 16,000 homes - while driving a shift to a more modern, performance-driven service that underpins the whole Housing system. You'll play a pivotal role in turning day-to-day delivery into a reliable, high-quality service for tenants, while acting as an intelligent supplier to Housing as it moves from recovery and reactive operations towards a more proactive, customer-centred landlord that delivers consistently strong services. About the team We're part of the Council's Residents' Services Directorate, which brings together housing, customer services and community support around a shared purpose: to make sure every resident has access to a safe, affordable and sustainable home, and to strengthen the communities that make Southampton a city of opportunity. Housing Works plays a critical delivery role within Housing's commissioning model - delivering repairs, maintenance, compliance, planned works and estates services across the city's housing stock. Through a large in-house workforce and supply chain, the service is responsible for ensuring homes are safe, well-maintained and available to meet demand. Working closely with colleagues across Housing and related services including Homelessness, Housing Works translates priorities, standards and investment decisions into effective delivery. It ensures that work is well planned, resources are used effectively and services are delivered consistently across the city - forming a key part of a joined-up housing system focused on better outcomes for tenants. This is a newly designed structure, and you will be joining at the point where it moves from design into delivery - shaping how Housing Works operates in practice and establishing the standards, culture and performance needed for short, medium and long-term improvement. About the role In August 2024, the Regulator for Social Housing identified serious failings in how we met the consumer standards. That judgement has been a turning point - and we're now using it to drive lasting improvements for tenants, residents and communities. Our intention is to rebuild confidence and deliver real, sustained change that improves the quality of homes and the lives of people who live in them - building on the progress we have already made over the last twelve months. As Head of Housing Works, you'll be a key member of the Housing Directorate Senior Leadership Team (SLT). Together, the SLT is responsible for ensuring Housing operates as part of a coherent system - owning delivery of Housing's overall purpose and making sure services operate in a joined-up, effective way. Within that, you will lead a large and complex delivery service responsible for repairs, maintenance, compliance, planned works and estates services across the city's housing stock and neighbourhoods. You will ensure services are safe, compliant and deliver value for money, giving tenants, the Council and the Regulator confidence that that Housing is under control and improving. You'll provide clear operational leadership across a large workforce and supply chain - setting priorities in line with commissions from your clients, establishing strong performance expectations and ensuring that work is outcome-focussed, well planned, delivered consistently and to customer expectations. You'll also lead the modernisation of Housing Works - improving productivity, strengthening planning and scheduling, and embedding better use of data and systems. With new core systems being introduced to support mobile working and scheduling, you will build on these foundations to establish more consistent, efficient and modern ways of working, and to drive better value from both the in-house workforce and the wider supply chain. You'll work closely with colleagues across Housing to act as an intelligent supplier - translating priorities, standards and investment decisions into effective delivery. This means shaping Housing Works as a high-performing, commercially aware delivery partner that makes the best use of its own capacity and external suppliers, delivers strong value for money, and feels fully part of a joined-up Housing team. You'll balance day-to-day operational grip with longer-term improvement, ensuring Housing Works supports the wider system to achieve better outcomes for tenants. Success will depend on working with others across Housing, the wider Council and partners.

Head of Housing Works We're looking for a proven leader to join Southampton City Council as the Head of Housing Works. This is a rare opportunity to lead a large and fast-paced in-house direct labour organisation (DLO) - Southampton's preferred and much prized delivery partner for maintaining and improving over 16,000 homes - while driving a shift to a more modern, performance-driven service that underpins the whole Housing system. You'll play a pivotal role in turning day-to-day delivery into a reliable, high-quality service for tenants, while acting as an intelligent supplier to Housing as it moves from recovery and reactive operations towards a more proactive, customer-centred landlord that delivers consistently strong services. About the team We're part of the Council's Residents' Services Directorate, which brings together housing, customer services and community support around a shared purpose: to make sure every resident has access to a safe, affordable and sustainable home, and to strengthen the communities that make Southampton a city of opportunity. Housing Works plays a critical delivery role within Housing's commissioning model - delivering repairs, maintenance, compliance, planned works and estates services across the city's housing stock. Through a large in-house workforce and supply chain, the service is responsible for ensuring homes are safe, well-maintained and available to meet demand. Working closely with colleagues across Housing and related services including Homelessness, Housing Works translates priorities, standards and investment decisions into effective delivery. It ensures that work is well planned, resources are used effectively and services are delivered consistently across the city - forming a key part of a joined-up housing system focused on better outcomes for tenants. This is a newly designed structure, and you will be joining at the point where it moves from design into delivery - shaping how Housing Works operates in practice and establishing the standards, culture and performance needed for short, medium and long-term improvement. About the role In August 2024, the Regulator for Social Housing identified serious failings in how we met the consumer standards. That judgement has been a turning point - and we're now using it to drive lasting improvements for tenants, residents and communities. Our intention is to rebuild confidence and deliver real, sustained change that improves the quality of homes and the lives of people who live in them - building on the progress we have already made over the last twelve months. As Head of Housing Works, you'll be a key member of the Housing Directorate Senior Leadership Team (SLT). Together, the SLT is responsible for ensuring Housing operates as part of a coherent system - owning delivery of Housing's overall purpose and making sure services operate in a joined-up, effective way. Within that, you will lead a large and complex delivery service responsible for repairs, maintenance, compliance, planned works and estates services across the city's housing stock and neighbourhoods. You will ensure services are safe, compliant and deliver value for money, giving tenants, the Council and the Regulator confidence that that Housing is under control and improving. You'll provide clear operational leadership across a large workforce and supply chain - setting priorities in line with commissions from your clients, establishing strong performance expectations and ensuring that work is outcome-focussed, well planned, delivered consistently and to customer expectations. You'll also lead the modernisation of Housing Works - improving productivity, strengthening planning and scheduling, and embedding better use of data and systems. With new core systems being introduced to support mobile working and scheduling, you will build on these foundations to establish more consistent, efficient and modern ways of working, and to drive better value from both the in-house workforce and the wider supply chain. You'll work closely with colleagues across Housing to act as an intelligent supplier - translating priorities, standards and investment decisions into effective delivery. This means shaping Housing Works as a high-performing, commercially aware delivery partner that makes the best use of its own capacity and external suppliers, delivers strong value for money, and feels fully part of a joined-up Housing team. You'll balance day-to-day operational grip with longer-term improvement, ensuring Housing Works supports the wider system to achieve better outcomes for tenants. Success will depend on working with others across Housing, the wider Council and partners. Together with the other Heads of Service, you'll help make Housing operate well as a coherent system that connects commissioning with delivery - maintaining performance today while driving sustained improvement over time.
