About Us:

Making a difference through your strategic, self-driven approach 

In Kensington and Chelsea, we have an ambitious Council Plan which sets out our priorities for the next four years. It is directly shaped by the Council’s biggest ever ‘conversation’ with residents and puts community involvement at its heart. 

Following the Grenfell enquiry, Kensington and Chelsea understands the opportunity, as well as the necessity, for positive innovation and change. 

We have brought our social housing stock back under local authority control and are reviewing the management of our portfolio to prepare for major new legislation and to ensure rigorous compliance with building regulations.

The Role:

Against this challenging backdrop, you will maintain a strategic overview of RBKC’s housing portfolio, with the critical responsibility of delivering compliant and safe properties.

From fire-proofing to sustainability, you’ll influence investment decisions to ensure we achieve the best possible performance. 

We’ll look to you to demonstrate value for money, and you’ll work closely with colleagues across Property Services to deliver smart, coordinated data.

It’s a new role that offers the opportunity forge your own path and have a major impact within a high-profile local authority. 

With a planned spend of over £300 million on building and refurbishment over the next five years, there are considerable challenges ahead.

Managing different stakeholders and partners will be key to your success.

You’re likely to have a background within a similar organisation, including good knowledge of construction or property development.
