Chief Executive
Competitive salary with excellent benefits
Based in Leeds, with travel
Unipol is seeking to appoint its next Chief Executive. This is an influential and important role for the UK student accommodation sector.
Unipol is a unique student housing charity, established in 1973. We are passionate about helping students find the best housing. We provide help and assistance to students renting in the private sector, provide direct housing to students in Leeds, Nottingham and Bradford, run a number of accreditation schemes and train and promote best practice in student housing. Unipol is not only at the centre of student housing but is involved at every level: information, advice, policy development and setting, measuring and checking standards.
The Chief Executive of Unipol has the key leadership role in the charity and oversees the running and development of the whole organisation. The Chief Executive has a vital role in framing the culture of the organisation and motivating staff and partners to deliver on the charity’s aspirations, including student support and assistance, student housing provision, and industry standards and best practice.
We are seeking an individual with exceptional interpersonal and leadership skills with high levels of emotional intelligence, confidence, resilience, and energy. The new Chief Executive will have the experience and ability to inspire, lead, manage, and develop a team ranging from senior management to operational professionals, and will demonstrate passion for Unipol’s values. Significant leadership experience gained in an organisation of a similar complexity and nature to Unipol would be particularly advantageous.
The role offers a unique and compelling opportunity to take up a senior leadership role within an organisation that is influential at a national level.
