A unique opportunity to truly shape Torbay's housing journey
Torbay is breathtaking, captivating, and welcoming, occupying a prime position on the south coast of Devon.

Currently experiencing unprecedented levels of investment and the council's own ambitious transformation programme have given Torbay the opportunity to capitalise on the area's profile and many assets.

As a small unitary authority, you'll discover Torbay is a place where you can make things happen quickly.

We have real momentum building, fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and ambition - which is clearly evident by our recent shortlisting for 'Most Improved Council' at this year's LGC Awards.

We want Torbay and its residents to thrive and are committed to making a difference in our community, delivering high quality services to local people and businesses.

To deliver our ambition, we are now seeking a Head of Strategic Housing & Delivery.

This role will expand our offer and capitalise on best practice through the delivery of our new Housing Strategy.

We are therefore seeking credible housing professionals, who possess excellent knowledge of the housing sector, as well as the ability to inspire trust and have the interest of our residents at your heart.

With significant operational and management experience in a relevant professional specialism, you will be able to inspire and influence change, evaluate risk and provide a considered roadmap of the future landscape for housing across Torbay.

Undertaking the role of Head of Strategic Housing & Delivery, you will be professionally curious, actively strive to build regional and national networks, whilst providing clear and credible advice to senior officers and elected members.

In return, you will join a supportive and rewarding organisation, whereby your talent will be valued and actively developed.

At Torbay Council, we know that our biggest strength comes from our people, and we are excited for you to join us.

We also understand the importance of an effective work-life balance, therefore offer an enviable hybrid working approach, managed effectively around business need.
