An exciting opportunity has arisen at the National Housing Federation (NHF) for an Executive Director of Public Impact. The NHF is the voice of housing associations in England. We are the trade body to almost 600 housing associations, who have grown from philanthropic roots to provide 2.6 million homes to around six million people. You can find further information about the NHF here:

After years of campaigning, the government's recent Spending Review delivered a transformational package of funding for social housing. It will enable us to deliver the biggest social house building programme since the post‑war period and to better protect our existing social homes. It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join our organisation.

Over the coming years we’ll be a key partner in helping the government achieve its house building targets, delivering long‑term benefits to residents and communities.

We also have exciting plans to boost the public’s understanding of our sector and ensure that housing associations are seen as an employer of choice.

This is a chance for someone with significant leadership experience, and a real interest in social housing, public affairs and policy to join us and help make those ambitions a reality. You will find great colleagues and a brilliant team, and get the opportunity to work on some of the toughest (and most interesting) social, economic and policy issues in the country.

Quite simply, this role is one of the best jobs in housing! It’s challenging, rewarding and thought provoking, giving you the chance to make a real difference.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
