Summary
Lead change. Inspire excellence. Put our customers at the heart of everything we do.
We’re recruiting for an inspiring and motivational Head of Locality to take the lead in shaping the future of property services across our Lincolnshire region.
This brand-new, pivotal role supports a large-scale change programme within Platform Property Care (PPC), as we transform the way we deliver repairs and maintenance services for over 15,000 homes in this region. Your work will have a tangible impact on customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Why this role matters
This isn’t just another leadership role — it’s a strategic opportunity to direct property services in this area, drive customer-first innovation, and lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-quality, value-for-money services that meet our ambitious standards.
You will oversee all aspects of reactive repairs, void refurbishment, and advanced repairs in your locality, ensuring every customer touchpoint reflects our values, high standards, and commitment to continuous improvement.
What you’ll be doing
Championing a locality-based, customer-centric property maintenance model
Leading, motivating, and coaching a team of Locality Operations Managers, Schedulers, Area Managers and Trade Operatives
Delivering exceptional service standards and hitting targets on first-time fix, satisfaction, compliance, and sustainability
Embedding a high-performance culture that aligns to our business plans and values
Collaborating across Housing Operations, Complex Works, Commercial, and Asset teams to ensure seamless service
Using data insight, customer feedback, and operational KPIs to drive continuous improvement and innovation
What you’ll bring
A strong background in property maintenance, building compliance, or housing repairs
Proven leadership and change management experience in a large-scale, customer-facing environment
Up-to-date knowledge of H&S legislation, HHSRS, and industry standards
Experience of managing teams through transformation, driving cultural and service change
Ideally a relevant qualification such as HNC/HND in Construction, CIH Level 4, or a leadership-focused degree
Ability to use data, technology and customer insight to inform strategic and operational decisions
A passion for people development, sustainability, and putting customers at the heart of services
You’ll be measured on success by:
95% of repairs/voids completed on target
85% first-time fix rate
95% customer satisfaction with repairs and estates
Improvements delivered, cost-efficiency, and sustainability outcomes
Engagement, culture and employee turnover metrics
