30 Administration management jobs

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a service undertaking one of the most ambitious transformation programmes in local government. At Tower Hamlets, we are redesigning services, reshaping culture and building a new leadership team to create a sector-leading Housing Options and Homelessness Division that delivers outstanding outcomes for residents.

Our vision is to be a collaborative, trauma-informed and resident-focused service, working alongside housing, health, children's services, adult social care and community partners to provide support that is compassionate, transparent and centred on resident needs. We are committed to preventing homelessness wherever possible, ending rough sleeping and ensuring residents have access to suitable housing and support when they need it most.

The challenges are significant. Tower Hamlets currently supports more than 3,100 households in temporary accommodation and manages a housing register of over 31,000 households, while demand for homelessness services continues to rise alongside increasing financial pressures. Through our transformation programme, we have already delivered substantial savings, reduced administrative burdens, strengthened performance management and laid the foundations for a more prevention-focused operating model.

As a Strategic Lead, you will play a central role in the next phase of this journey. We are seeking an ambitious and inspiring leader who can shape strategy, lead high-performing teams, strengthen partnerships and drive innovation across some of the Council's most important services. In return, you will have the opportunity to influence the future of homelessness services in one of London's most diverse and dynamic boroughs, helping to deliver lasting change for residents while working alongside talented colleagues who share a commitment to improving lives and achieving sector-leading performance, whilst also investing in our services whilst most other Councils are cutting back.

If you are an experienced senior strategic leader with a demonstratable track record of sustained service delivery then we would love to hear from you.
