Head of Contracts, Compliance & Property Services

These are exciting times for Women's Pioneer Housing. We are developing 160 new homes for single women in West London, Lane which will be let to social housing residents in 2026, as well as brand new office on our site at 227 Wood Lane.

Founded in 1920 by women and men who understood the challenges faced by single women trying to secure affordable, safe and independent housing at the time, we are an ambitious housing association that remains focused on housing single women. The need for safe, secure, affordable housing for single women is as great as ever and we remain committed to making a positive difference to women’s lives by providing high quality homes and services.

To prepare us for our first high rise schemes, and ensure our residents continue to live in safe, well-maintained properties, we are recruiting a Head of Contracts, Compliance and Property Services.

As Head of Contracts, Compliance and Property Services you will create great partnerships with our contractors and consultants, ensuring value for money, and an excellent, fully-compliant property maintenance service to our residents.

The Head of Contracts, Compliance and Property Services will also demonstrate experience of managing large contracts and writing accurate specifications. You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to social housing and involving residents in shaping and influencing services. Although this may be your first role at senior management level, you will have experience working with Boards and be able to develop and implement strategies that support our growth and ambitions.

We are a small team and work together to deliver shared objectives. If you are passionate about delivering excellent customer service, committed to improving safety and property services for social housing residents, and a good team member, we would love to hear from you.
