About Sutton Housing
Housing is at the heart of Sutton’s ambition for its residents. Following the insourcing of services from Encompass in 2024 and a major restructure in December 2025, we’ve entered a new era of transformation.
Our goal is clear: to create a modern, high-performing housing service that delivers stability, innovation, and better outcomes for our community.
What we do:
- Manage allocations and lettings for thousands of households, working closely with Sutton Housing Partnership (our ALMO) to ensure smooth processes and strong governance.
- Provide homelessness prevention, assessment, and resettlement services, including support for refugees and vulnerable residents.
- Oversee temporary accommodation for over 1,100 households, with a focus on reducing reliance on nightly-paid placements and driving down costs.
- Deliver new homes and affordable housing through the Sutton Local Plan, negotiating S106 agreements and enabling partnerships with developers and housing associations.
- Innovate through digital solutions, data analytics, and system design to improve efficiency and customer experience.
Why this is an exciting time to join:
- We’ve achieved a C1 rating from the Regulator of Social Housing, confirming compliance with all consumer standards and giving us a strong foundation for growth.
- Our new structure creates clarity and accountability, with leadership roles that have real scope to shape services and influence policy.
- We’re investing in technology, partnerships, and new approaches to tackle housing challenges head-on—from reducing temporary accommodation to building new council homes.
- You’ll join a leadership team committed to collaboration, creativity, and delivering change with pace and purpose.
If you want to lead transformation and make a tangible difference for thousands of residents, Sutton Housing is the place to do it.
