We're on the lookout for a brilliant new Group Safety Director to lead our safety strategy with real vision, courage and purpose. This is no tick-box compliance role, it's about taking an already strong safety foundation and embedding it even deeper into our culture. You'll report directly to our CEO and work closely with our Executive and Board to strengthen how we protect and empower our customers, colleagues and communities ensuring safety is not just something we do, but something we believe in.You don't need a housing background; we're more interested in where you can take us.

It's a rare opportunity to lead expert teams, shape strategic culture, and influence safety in a way that genuinely changes lives.What you'll do
- Provide strong, independent second line assurance, risk oversight and strategic reporting to the Executive, Board and regulators.
- Lead our Directors of Health and Safety and Building Safety, building a joined-up, forward-thinking second line team.
- Drive cultural change, shifting safety from compliance to commitment and making it part of how everyone thinks and works.
- Shape and refining safety governance, reporting frameworks and improvement plans so they deliver meaningful insight and action.
- Act as the point person for regulators, from HSE to the Building Safety Regulator, leading confident, evidence-led engagement.

Reporting to our Chief Executive, Mark Henderson, you'll work closely with the Executive and Board, shaping decisions that matter and influencing how safety is lived and led at every level.Mark's not your average CEO, he's a direct talker, a passionate advocate for inclusive, future-focused workplaces, and a proud "Toon" fan (we can't promise you won't end up hearing about NUFC or motorbike racing in meetings). With roots in Scotland and a focus on authenticity, Mark champions leaders who bring clarity, courage and collaboration and he'll back you to do just that.You'll be joining a team that genuinely cares about people and purpose, with the space, support and trust to lead boldly and build something
