Hackney is London's most diverse and dynamic borough. Stretching from the edge of the City, to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it is an area of rapid economic growth, particularly in the tech, media, fashion and other creative industries. Hackney has more green space than any other inner London borough, some of the capital's best schools, and first class transport connections, which combined with excellent local public services and a thriving arts, cultural and retail sector, are fast making it one of London's most popular areas to live, work and visit.
Our challenge is to make sure that our borough's economic growth provides benefits for everyone who lives here, and to create opportunities that will transform the lives of local people.
We know that staff are key to our success and we are seeking people with ambition, creativity and commitment to our values to help us achieve the best for the people of Hackney.

This innovative approach is helping us provide a more joined up service and more focused support for those in Hackney that are at risk of homelessness.

You will be the face of the Service to private rented sector landlords nationwide and you will lead on the development to source new properties, both in and out the borough.

The Council regularly tenders for new providers under a Dynamic Purchasing System and this role is responsible for leading on the evaluation and scoring of new tenders and bringing them on to the framework. Part of the role is managing a team who are responsible for visiting and inspecting properties.
With the introduction of the Renters Reform Act this year, you will also lead on implementing changes to ensure compliance and closer working with Private Sector Housing colleagues on enforcement, inspections, licensing and tenancy sustainment for tenants. We are looking for those with significant knowledge and experience managing within a housing supply environment.
The new manager will possess strong negotiating skills and knowledge of relevant legislation which must include a working understanding of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. You will need to be confident and passionate about outstanding customer service and making sure delivery standards are achieved providing critical support for local people.
You will possess good political awareness skills and be articulate, organised and resilient. The ability to multi-task and be a strategic thinker is imperative. Strong contract management experience is essential encompassing a strong and professional attitude delivering creative and innovative solutions
