Stonewater is a leading social housing provider. We manage around 40,000 homes, serving 93,000 customers across our portfolio of affordable properties for general rent, shared ownership, sale and specialist accommodation. In addition, we have an ambitious house building programme. Our team believes in hard work. We celebrate success and are always honest with each other. Everyone pulls together to get things done and when we are working as a team, we are unstoppable. Teamwork is part and parcel of life at Stonewater to achieve our mission of providing quality homes and services for people whose needs are not met by the open market.

We are recognised for our work in equality, diversity and inclusion and believe that this is key to the way we deliver services. Stonewater supports equality of opportunity and is dedicated to being a diverse, inclusive and supportive workplace. We are a Disability Confident employer and a top 10 employer in the Ethnicity Matrix.

After nearly a decade of leadership, our CEO has announced he will be stepping down and we are now seeking our next leader to enable Stonewater to achieve their vision for everyone to have the opportunity to have a place that they can call home. We are looking for someone who is truly inspirational, who will work collaboratively with our board and Chief Officer Group to develop our future strategic direction. Our new CEO will spearhead how we continue to grow our business, innovate and provide excellent services for our customers.

We are a hybrid business, and you will be adept at being a visible figurehead with our employees, board, customers and stakeholders across the geography in which we operate.

We need a CEO who will continue to ignite our social purpose, balancing this with our ambition to deliver innovative services for customers and local partners. Ideally, you will be a proven chief executive from the social housing sector, or an executive director who has experience of working in a large, national housing provider. We are looking for a leader who builds relationships founded on respect, honesty and transparency. Moreover, you will be someone who isn’t afraid to challenge our thinking. If you are an inspirational leader, who possesses commercial flair and with the ambition to ensure that Stonewater remains a brilliant service provider, we would love to hear from you.
