Regional Managing Directors x2 South East England
Job description
Your new role
We’re hugely excited to announce we’re looking for two Regional Managing Directors to lead our South and South West regions in delivering exceptional, innovative and bespoke services that will champion our ‘large but local’ strategy and meet the needs of the local communities they’ll be accountable to.
Ambitious, strategic and a proven leader, you’ll ensure Abri’s repairs and maintenance, community investment and housing management services for your region meet and exceed our customers’ expectations and act as the gold standard not just for Abri’s other regions, but for our sector, with the voice of the customer always kept at the heart of all you do.
Reporting to the Executive Director of Operations you’ll be the direct lead on all local services and act as the ambassador for your region to key external stakeholders, clearly demonstrating your credible, strong and inspirational leadership and vision to the regional board as well as colleagues at all levels.
This role will have an enormous impact in the lives of the tens of thousands of customers across your region and make a significant difference to how Abri operates and achieves our ambitious corporate strategy to create thriving communities and a sector-leading approach to customer service.
If you’re ambitious, performance driven and a strategic leader who wants the opportunity to do things differently and develop your regional approach into the flagship model to the rest of our sector, we’d love to hear from you.
About us
We’re Abri, a housing association based in the south of England. One of the largest in fact. We've got 35,000 homes and 1,500 colleagues. And if all our 80,000 residents lived in the same place, we’d have a town roughly the size of Guildford.
We’re a passionate bunch. We think we can make a real difference. Homelessness, poverty, inequality, a lack of affordable housing. They’re all linked. They’re issues that affect so many, young and old alike. And we don’t think that’s right. We want to give people the chance to dream big and be who they want to be. Homes are at the heart of everybody’s lives. And we exist to help make good homes, and good lives a reality for everyone.
About you
We’ve all got different backgrounds, strengths and experiences. But we share the same values. It’s these shared values that bring us together as one team.
Our colleagues embrace these every day. Be the difference to our customers and colleagues, always curious and look for better solutions, achieve together by working in partnership with others, own it openly through working with others in an open and honest way, and finally embrace possibility and see changes and challenges as welcomed opportunities.
What you can expect from us
We want our colleagues at all levels to be bold, inspiring and not afraid to speak up and be their authentic selves.
Your wellbeing is really important to us, so you can expect a competitive reward package to ensure you and your family are supported at work and at home.
We’ll work with you to help you reach your goals through personal development plans and our in-house People Development team.
Depending on your role you may need to work a set shift pattern, or you may have greater flexibility to choose when and where you work. Either way, we strive to ensure all colleagues have a degree of flexibility to attend life’s important events.
Be yourself
Abri is committed to promoting an inclusive culture. We want our colleagues to bring their individual differences, life experiences and knowledge into the workplace and we welcome their contribution to our amazing company. Everyone is different, everyone is unique.
