Housing Finance Jobs

If you're looking to make a real difference with your finance skills, working for a Housing Association, might just be the perfect fit. Working in social housing and local councils means you're not just crunching numbers, you're helping ensure people have decent, affordable homes.

What you'll actually be doing

Day-to-day, you'll be managing budgets that directly impact communities. Think rent collection strategies, service charge calculations, and making sure development projects don't go over budget. However, it's not all spreadsheets, you'll work closely with housing teams to understand their challenges and provide financial solutions that actually work in the real world.

The different paths you can take

At the top, there's Chief Finance Officer and Executive Finance Director roles where you're calling the shots financially. Below that, you've got your Head of Finance and Financial Controller positions, these are the roles where you're really getting your hands dirty with strategy.

Then there's the specialist roles, which is where housing finance gets interesting. Head of Rents and Service Charge? That's a role you won't find in many other sectors. Treasury Manager positions here involve understanding government funding and complex borrowing arrangements.

Don't overlook the Finance Business Partner roles either, particularly the development-focused ones. You'll be working on new housing projects from the ground up.
