Haig Housing provides quality homes to improve the lives of Veterans and their families in need.
The housing needs of our Veteran Community is both complex and constantly evolving. As the UK’s largest charity providing housing to Veterans in need, Haig Housing is proud to be critical leader in meeting these changing needs and in insuring that our Veterans have the home, they so richly deserve.
We are entering into an exciting new strategic phase, following a significant period of growth in our offering, influence and impact.

Our next Chief Executive will bring a significant track record of successful, strategic, leadership and operational management experience, at an organisation of comparable, or greater scale.

As Chief Executive, you will have the gravitas and communication skills to work with all our stakeholders and beneficiaries, as well as the ability to enhance Haig Housing’s standing with government and relevant, public, private and civil society organisations. Critically, you will have clear and demonstrable empathy with the issues facing Veterans and a passionate zeal for our mission
