• Strengthen operational systems, quality assurance, safeguarding, governance and performance monitoring
• Build commercial and social enterprise capability, setting clear targets, developing pricing models and securing new contracts
• Lead the housing transformation programme, including the Intensive Housing Management application, estate planning and recruitment of housing and maintenance posts
• Provide a clear and motivating presence for frontline staff, disabled employees and programme participants

Your aptitude, values and aspiration for your own growth are what we are primarily focused on. We do not expect you to be an expert in every area on day one. You will be empowered to develop and grow, and will have access to specialist support, particularly on housing and tendering.

What matters most is your commitment to supporting disabled people, your willingness to learn how to lead in new areas and your desire to ensure that Yateley can grow and help even more disabled people thrive.
