We are recruiting for an experienced housing professional for the role of Managing Director, with particular focus on completing the delivery of our Church Grove project of 36 flats and the smooth transfer to its occupation by new residents. We anticipate that the role will require 2-3 days per week.
The Managing Director will work with RUSS’s Board, consultants, working groups and members to establish RUSS as a competent housing organisation which owns and manages community-led homes.
This will include implementing the business plan and working with the Church Grove Project Board to steer the Church Grove development to completion through efficient financial and operational planning and control.
You will be taking over from our previous Operations Director, Dinah Roake, who will assist you in settling into the role. You will be supported by a team of highly committed volunteers, a part-time Client Representative for the Church Grove project, the Church Grove Project Board, the Finance and Audit committee and the Board of Trustees.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to participate in and improve their knowledge of alternative housing models and be part of a cutting edge, high profile community-led housing project.
