Shape the future of Redbridge’s estate – and leave your mark.

Redbridge is a borough with ambition. We’re one of the fastest-growing places in the country, and we’re investing in the future of our communities, our services, and our places. With a newly recruited Director of Housing, a transformation agenda that’s&nbsp;gaining momentum, and a leadership team committed to doing things differently, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our estate and leave a lasting legacy.

This is an exciting new role created to lead the strategic direction of our property portfolio, capital delivery, and facilities management. This is a chance to take ownership of a complex and varied estate, including corporate buildings, commercial assets, leisure centres, and a housing stock of around 4,500 units. You’ll be responsible for developing our Asset Management Plan, overseeing investment decisions, and ensuring robust governance, compliance, and assurance across all property-related functions.
This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. We’re breaking down cultural barriers, moving away from operational silos, and building a more strategic, commercially focused approach to asset management. You’ll need to roll up your sleeves, lead change with confidence, and bring clarity to an area full of potential.
You’ll work closely with elected Members, regulators, and delivery partners, and you’ll be a key voice in shaping our investment strategy. From leisure centres and commercial holdings to housing undergoing transformation, you’ll bring coherence to a portfolio that’s lacked strategic oversight. You’ll also play a key role in supporting our exit strategy from long-term consultancy reliance, helping us build internal resilience and capability.
About you
We’re looking for a commercially minded leader with strong political acumen, a track record of transformation, and the ability to hit the ground running. We’re open to candidates from other local authorities, or beyond, but you’ll need more than technical expertise.
You’ll be someone who thrives in complexity – able to balance operational grip with strategic foresight. You’ll bring a leadership style that’s collaborative, visible, and grounded in delivery. Whether your background is in local government, the NHS, or the commercial sector, you’ll understand how to navigate political environments, influence senior stakeholders, and lead cultural change. You’ll be confident shaping governance, driving assurance, and embedding a performance culture that delivers for residents and staff alike.
This is a high-impact role in a borough that’s ready to do things differently. If you’re looking for a challenge, and you want to make your mark in a place with ambition, complexity, and momentum – we’d love to hear from you.

Momentum is building in Redbridge. An invigorated sense of direction and potential is setting ambitious plans for the future. And this is creating some of the most exciting career propositions in London. This is your chance to be part of a new management team with a mandate for change and a shared sense of purpose.

This is a hugely exciting opportunity&nbsp;for an accomplished and ambitious education professional. In a borough with a high proportion of maintained schools, this is a role with considerable scope and influence.
You’ll work closely with school leaders at all levels, to promote good practice, share expertise and set clear expectations. That demands assured professional credibility at both a school and system level.
There is much to be positive about: Redbridge’s schools perform well. But there are some fundamental areas where we need to improve: such as SEND provision and schools’ financial resilience in the context of changing demographics.
Our most recent Area SEND inspection has highlighted where we need to be better. This has supported shared clarity on priorities and ensured organisational attention and support to bring about the changes that are required. You’ll work in partnership with school leaders and partner organisations to develop more robust and accountable systems around SEND and Inclusion, ensuring a more informed perspective supports evidence-based decision-making that is data led. You’ll oversee work with schools to develop their expertise and capacity in SEND provision, ensuring a more consistent experience for children and young people, and when necessary, challenging performance. It’s important that you have a practical understanding of the complexities of partnership working and clear ideas on how to ensure that the needs of young people and their families are at the centre of system design.
As you’d expect, such a role comes with high levels of attention and scrutiny. So, it’s essential that you understand the political dynamics of leading on such a high-profile area of work. Success in this role will rely on your ability to create consensus and momentum across school leadership and governance. You’ll be able to articulate a distinct vision for the change that is needed and clarity on the practical steps that need to happen to get us where we want to be.
We expect that you will already have a proven track record of leading school improvement and SEND provision across a number of schools, either in another local authority or in a multi academy trust. You should be well-informed on the current and emerging issues for the sector and have a detailed appreciation of the challenges that each school faces, individually and as part of the wider system.
