Social Housing Delivery Lead Consultant
Location: Home based, UK wide travel when required
Base hubs: Manchester / Durham / London (client-site as required).
Salary: £50,000–£60,000 (depending on sector depth and delivery leadership).
Benefits: Unlimited holiday, 5% matched pension, plus a healthcare scheme
The opportunity
A specialist advisory team is growing their Social Housing practice and is looking for a Delivery Lead Consultant to run end-to-end consulting engagements across housing associations—helping clients make confident decisions across housing management systems (HMS), digital/data strategy, applications, and transformation delivery.
This is a role for someone who can operate independently with clients, but who also enjoys being part of a collaborative team—sharing knowledge, developing others, and contributing to a strong delivery culture.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead advisory projects end-to-end: scoping, planning, delivery, closure, and follow-up
- Build trusted relationships with housing clients and deliver high-quality outcomes
- Support and mentor more junior consultants (coaching, delegation, knowledge sharing)
- Improve delivery ways of working (process, quality, administration, utilisation)
- Contribute to business development in a natural way (networking, shaping opportunities, supporting proposals) — not a hard sales target at this level
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Typical project areas
- Housing Management System (HMS) selections/procurement and delivery support (end-to-end implementation experience is a strong plus)
- IT / Digital & Data strategy (including roadmap and operating model direction)
- Application portfolio reviews and system reviews (often starting with repairs)
- Repairs and asset-related process improvement (e.g., work involving tools like Total Mobile, DRS, Plentific)
- Data platform direction (e.g., Microsoft Fabric, Databricks) from an advisory perspective (not hands-on engineering)
What we’re looking for
- Strong social housing sector knowledge (housing associations) and understanding of relevant operating context/regulation
- Proven experience delivering complex change/technology programmes (client-side transformation experience is welcomed)
- Confident stakeholder engagement skills—workshops, discovery, recommendations, proposals
- Comfortable with light BD activity (events, introductions, relationship building)
- A collaborative style (not a “lone wolf” consultant)
