Job Title: Corporate Head of Growth
Salary: £88,018
Location: Lincolnshire - Grimsby or Boston Office
Are you Passionate about building thriving communities?
We have a fantastic new opportunity as our Corporate Head of Growth, in our Property Services Directorate. We're looking for an inspiring and commercially savvy leader with experience delivering new developments within the housing sector.
Why is this role important?
LHP is embarking on one of the most ambitious and important periods in its history.
With Board approval secured for a 10-year development programme to deliver up to 2,350 new homes between 2026 and 2036, we are seeking a Head of Growth to shape and lead the delivery of this transformational agenda.
This role offers a unique opportunity to establish and execute LHP's long-term Growth Strategy, building the partnerships, governance, development pipeline and delivery capability required to bring high-quality affordable homes to communities across Lincolnshire.
Working closely with the Executive Team and Board, the Head of Growth will lead the delivery of LHP's ambitious growth programme, helping to address housing need across Lincolnshire while strengthening the organisation's long-term sustainability and impact.
As our development ambitions continue to grow, so too will the team. This is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop an existing team of six colleagues while spearheading the recruitment of additional talent. You'll have the chance to build and shape your own team, creating the capability needed to deliver a significant long-term development programme, all while working with a dedicated and highly regarded group of professionals.
The Head of Growth is a career-defining opportunity to lead a programme that will have a lasting impact on thousands of people across Lincolnshire and help shape the future of LHP for generations to come.

What will I be doing?
