About the job
Are you driven by the desire to improve all aspects of housing, strengthen communities, and shape high‑quality services that protect the public and the environment? If you’re looking for a role where your leadership truly makes a difference, this is your opportunity.
We’re looking for an inspiring and motivated professional to join us as our Housing & Vulnerability Business Manager — a key role at the heart of several vital, interconnected services.
You’ll oversee a portfolio that includes housing enforcement, disabled facilities grants, Newcastle housing advice, homelessness, and vulnerability services.
Working alongside experienced lead officers, you’ll make sure our statutory duties are met while also driving innovation, shaping policy, and maximising funding opportunities to elevate the services we deliver.
What matters most is your energy, curiosity, and commitment to learning, along with a passion for developing services during a period of significant change, including the rollout of the Renters Rights Act and the future Local Government Reorganisation.
This is a chance to take a leading role in creating safer, healthier, and more resilient communities.
If you’re ready to step into a position with real influence and purpose, we’d love to hear from you
Requirements
An environmental health qualification — or an equivalent background — would be ideal to support the enforcement aspects of the role. But you don’t need experience in every service area.
For more details please refer to the attached Job description and Person specification.
Why work for us?
Newcastle-under-Lyme is a borough with big ambitions. We’ve already started our transformation, however, we still need to find better ways of doing things because we are determined to do the very best we can for our communities.
If our vision is to be the best, then we need the best people working for us. Our people are at the heart of what we do and have the freedom to innovate, grow and develop. We recruit people who share our vision and values; people who have the drive to deliver our ambitious Council plan.
Our historic borough is a place of marked contrasts. We are the home of a world class University at Keele, a leading light known internationally for its research and sustainability record, which stands side by side with former mining communities including some which register amongst the most deprived areas in the country. Our Borough is also a mixture of urban centres, affected by some of the same social issues facing our neighbouring city, Stoke-on-Trent, but also outstanding rural landscapes in our less populated villages. Our plans and priorities aim to address the needs of all our communities.
Our People Offer
We reward our people with a competitive range of benefits including; access to the local government pension scheme, minimum 24 days annual leave plus 5 extra days after 5 years' service, flexible working options and family friendly policies, local and national high street discounts, free car parking, wellbeing support including £12.50 per month Jubilee2 membership , green travel scheme including cycle to work and electric car salary sacrifice, free employee 24 hour employee assistance and counselling services, flu vaccination service and health checks plus development and training opportunities.
