This is an opportunity for an outstanding transformation leader to make a real impact at genuine scale, at one of London's largest housing providers. Notting Hill Genesis has a turnover of more than £750m, more than 60,000 homes, and around 130,000 residents. It is both a major landlord and developer in one of the most complex housing markets in the country, with a purpose to build a fairer London where everyone has a place to call home.
NHG is clear that its core social purpose has not changed, but that the way it delivers its ambitions must continue to evolve. Backed by £1 billion of investment, it is focusing on five priorities: enhancing customer experience, delivering safe, quality homes, engaging its people, improving risk and governance, and financial strength and value for money. Following the Regulator of Social Housing's November 2024 judgement, NHG has been working through a detailed Regulatory Compliance Plan, addressing its risk and governance priority directly, with more than 80% of milestones now complete.
