The Head of Asset Management role is located within Building Services, part of the Housing, Neighbourhood and Building Services Directorate. The service is responsible for the repair, maintenance, and statutory compliance of our portfolio, which includes more than 15,000 council homes, 2,000 leasehold properties, and nearly 900 corporate assets across Portsmouth and the surrounding area. We are currently undergoing a period of significant transformation following the introduction of the Social Housing Regulation Act and the receipt of our ___ in January 2025. In response, we have established ___, a strategic programme bringing together multiple workstreams to ensure we meet current regulatory requirements, deliver a major capital investment programme, and proactively prepare for emerging legislation. At the centre of Buildings Project 2030 is the development of a new Asset Management Strategy for Portsmouth Homes. Work is already underway on this important piece of strategic planning, which will articulate our priorities and objectives, inform long‑term capital investment decisions, and guide how our stock is managed, maintained, or renewed. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping this strategy, providing strategic leadership, developing and implementing new policies, and supporting the service through a period of substantial change. Our housing stock is diverse: while the majority of properties were constructed during the 1950s and 1960s, our portfolio also includes Victorian‑era homes, modern developments, and an active pipeline of more than 500 new homes. Nearly one‑third of our stock is of non‑traditional construction, and we currently manage 22 taller buildings as defined under the Building Safety Act.

You will report to the Assistant Director of Building Services and play an important part within the senior management team. Collaboration with fellow Heads of Service across the Directorate will be essential. You will also lead meaningful consultation with residents, Members, and key stakeholders to ensure a shared understanding of the strategic principles and broad support for the strategy’s objectives. The core functions within the Head of Asset Management service area include: Asset Management Responsible for the collection, management, and analysis of stock data, including stock condition surveys, Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) assessments, and the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). The team includes data analysts who interrogate datasets and generate compliance and performance measures to inform decision‑making. Strategic Stock Analysis Analysis of property condition and performance to support the development of the Asset Management Strategy, informing budget setting, investment priorities, and strategic decisions about repair, refurbishment, acquisition, disposal, and estate renewal. Building Procurement and Framework Management Responsible for leading the procurement of major strategic contracts across Building Services, and for establishing and managing a range of consultant and construction frameworks to enable effective service delivery and implementation of the Asset Management Strategy.
