Chief Executive

Concept Housing Association is entering an exciting new phase, and we’re looking for a Chief Executive who can lead with purpose, confidence and clarity. We are a not‑for‑profit, community focused provider supporting more than 3,000 residents across Birmingham, Bradford, Telford, London and Lancashire. Our mission is simple: to provide safe, well‑managed supported homes that help people move towards independence.

In recent years we’ve invested significantly in our people, systems and ways of working. We’ve strengthened governance, modernised our operating model and built a capable Executive Leadership Team. This has created a stable, well-run organisation with a renewed sense of purpose and a strong platform for the future. With a clearer financial structure and a committed workforce, we are now focused on thoughtful, well managed growth, guided by our ethos of Partnering for Better Futures.

As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic leadership that turns ambition into delivery, ensuring full compliance with regulatory and statutory standards while championing resident safety, dignity and voice. You will strengthen partnerships with commissioners and local authorities, lead a positive and values‑driven culture, protect financial sustainability and value for money, and represent Concept with integrity and credibility.

You will bring senior leadership experience within social housing or supported housing, with the confidence to operate in a regulated environment and the ability to balance commercial thinking with a strong social purpose. You will be comfortable leading an organisation through improvement, strengthening governance and assurance, and ensuring that financial discipline, compliance and resident focused services sit at the heart of everything we do. You will be a visible, values- led leader who inspires confidence and brings a constructive, forward looking approach.
