We are seeking a Head of Development & Sustainability to lead a committed and passionate team within the Assets & Sustainability Directorate responsible for delivering our vision of providing high quality new build homes for both social and mid-market rent, along with redeveloping existing Later Living homes to meet the needs and aspirations of our customers. The postholder will also lead our sustainability and net zero strategy and provide energy services to make a difference to peoples’ lives and communities.

Over the last five years Trust has developed an active new build development pipeline and has established a track record of delivering high-quality homes and energy services for a diverse range of customers.
