Head of Development

We have an incredible opportunity to join us as our Head of Development! This is a very unique role where you will be working across two housing associations; Freebridge Community Housing and Saffron Housing.

Your role will be to lead the delivery of an exciting new build programme across Saffron and Freebridge. In this strategic leadership role, you’ll drive the successful delivery of high-quality homes that meet the needs of local communities, while ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in line with regulatory and funding requirements. You’ll inspire and lead a high-performing team, champion value for money, and play a key role in shaping the future growth and impact of both organisations.

Our Freebridge Community Housing goal is to provide affordable, safe, and quality homes for current and future generations, for those who need a place to call home. Freebridge was set up in 2006, to receive the transfer of the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk’s housing stock. We now have over 7500 properties across West and North Norfolk, in addition to building new homes for social and affordable rent, and to support those who want to move into shared home ownership.

Saffron Housing Trust was created in May 2004 when 4,345 properties were transferred from South Norfolk Council. Today, we are a housing association with over 6,600 homes in Norfolk, Suffolk and across East Anglia.

Please note, this role will require you to work across offices based in King's Lynn and Long Stratton.
