Ready to shape the future of housing and regeneration across England and Wales?
Local Partnerships is growing – and we’re looking for experienced professionals with the skills, credibility and drive to deliver transformational change in the public sector.We work closely with central government, the Local Government Association (our part-owners), and councils across the UK to build sector capacity, unlock housing delivery and boost economic growth. As we expand our portfolio, we’re seeking individuals who can turn national priorities into local impact.
You may come from a technical background (property, housing, development) or a broader role within regeneration public or private sector – we welcome both. What matters most is your ability to make things happen on the ground.
We are currently recruiting for a Director with experience in housing and regeneration – particularly in relation to housing development and Council housebuilding.

Local Partnerships is a joint venture between the Local Government Association, Welsh Government and HM Treasury. We support public sector organisations to deliver high-impact programmes in housing, infrastructure, regeneration, energy and more. Our work improves lives, strengthens communities and delivers long-term value.
