About the Role
Ealing Council’s housing strategy for 2025 – 2030 is an ambitious plan to tackle the borough’s acute housing challenges. The goal is to ensure every resident has access to a good quality, genuinely affordable home within a thriving community where they can live healthier and happier lives. This role offers an exciting opportunity to play a key part in driving transformation, fostering innovation, and building partnerships that deliver real change for the community.

The Housing & Environment directorate manages and improves over 17,000 council homes, ensuring every resident has a safe, warm, and welcoming place to live. The directorate is committed to resident-led service design, continuous improvement, and maintaining the highest standards of compliance and safety.
