The Role
We are seeking Neighbourhood Leads to join our Regional Neighbourhood Team on a permanent, full-time basis.
In this frontline role, you’ll be the main point of contact for residents, ensuring homes, estates, and communities are well managed, safe, and welcoming.

You’ll be confident managing challenging situations, organised in keeping accurate records, and committed to providing fair, supportive, and high-quality services.
If you’re community-minded, resilient, and passionate about making a positive difference for residents, we’d love to hear from you.
