Home Fix Scotland (HFS) is the wholly owned subsidiary of the social landlord River Clyde Homes, delivering high-quality property repairs and maintenance to ensure tenants have a comfortable and well-maintained living environment. Since its establishment in 2016, HFS has grown into a trusted and commercially successful organisation, employing over 115 colleagues.
Working closely with River Clyde Homes, HFS plays a vital role in ensuring customers receive safe, well-maintained homes and excellent services while supporting the wider Group's long-term ambitions. As the organisation enters its next phase of development and the current Managing Director plans his retirement, we are seeking an exceptional Managing Director to build on this strong foundation and shape its future success.
Reporting to the Group Chief Executive and the Home Fix Scotland Board, the successful candidate will join the River Clyde Homes Executive Leadership Team, providing strategic leadership and operational oversight for Home Fix Scotland. The role will lead the organisation through its next phase of development, driving innovation, transformation and continuous improvement to strengthen operational performance, deliver excellent customer outcomes and support sustainable commercial growth across the business and wider Group.
Key responsibilities include:
- Driving HFS’s strategic direction and commercial innovation objectives in alignment with RCH Group’s vision and values.
- Ensuring the highest standards of governance, regulatory compliance, health and safety, property compliance and risk management.
- Leading financial and resource management, business transformation, and performance against targets to deliver sustainable growth, commercial viability and long-term value.
- Championing high-quality customer-centric service design and delivery.
- Developing a positive, high-performing culture where colleagues are engaged, supported and empowered to succeed, promoting wellbeing, development and continuous improvement.
- Building strong internal and external relationships with the Board, Executive Leadership Team, customers, contractors and external partners, while identifying opportunities for business development and strategic partnerships.
We are seeking an accomplished leader with significant experience within housing, property services, construction or a related commercial environment. You will bring a proven track record of delivering organisational transformation, driving commercial performance and overseeing operational services. The ability to foster positive employee relations, build trust, and successfully navigate periods of growth, change and continuous improvement, will be essential, alongside experience of working constructively with recognised trade unions. You will also possess strong strategic leadership and stakeholder engagement skills, with an understanding of property compliance, health and safety legislation, and CDM Regulations.
Experience of business development, subsidiary governance and delivering sustainable commercial growth would be advantageous, as would knowledge of the Scottish housing sector and its regulatory environment. Applications are also welcomed from candidates able to demonstrate relevant transferable executive leadership experience.
