Turn Merton’s housing ambition into homes and places.
You will lead our ambitious New Homes Programme, including the c.£1bn transformation of Morden town centre. With responsibility for a £350m+ housing delivery programme and a considerable grant allocation, you’ll shape and drive the pipeline from identifying opportunities and testing viability through to funding, procurement, partnerships and delivery on the ground.
You’ll work at the heart of our relationships with the GLA, developers, investors and registered providers, unlocking investment and finding creative ways to deliver more high-quality affordable homes. As Deputy Director, you’ll also help lead the wider Regeneration & Planning division – making this a rare opportunity to combine major project delivery, commercial leadership and real influence over Merton’s future.
