Executive Director People and Culture
Our Chief Executive Officer, Marie-Claire Delbrouque, introduces the role
Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in joining mhs homes at such a pivotal and exciting time in our journey.
This is a truly special opportunity. We are introducing the role of Executive Director of People & Culture for the very first time, a clear statement of intent that our people are the heartbeat of mhs homes and central to everything we do. As we have grown in both size and complexity, we recognise the need to evolve, ensuring we have a, forward-thinking people function that will support our ambitions for the future.
At mhs homes, our mission is clear: to help solve the housing crisis in North Kent. We believe that safe, secure and affordable homes are fundamental to people’s lives and opportunities, and everything we do is driven by that purpose. Delivering on this ambition requires not only great homes and services, but great people, and that is why this role is so critical.

Since joining mhs, I have been continually inspired by the passion, resilience and commitment of our colleagues. We are proud to be an organisation with a hardworking and deeply dedicated workforce, rooted in the communities we serve, with many of our colleagues living in those same neighbourhoods and bringing a deep, personal connection to our purpose. This creates a genuine sense of care and accountability in everything we do. Our people are what make mhs homes special, and this role is about unlocking even more of that potential.
We are entering the next phase of our evolution. With a new strategy on the horizon, there is a clear focus on both people and customers, and how we strengthen the connection between the two. We are committed to developing an outstanding customer offer, rooted in insight, empathy and service excellence. At the same time, we are investing in better understanding our organisational culture, including through tools such as Culture Amp, so that we can listen, learn and act with clarity and purpose.
This role will be instrumental in helping us refresh and embed our values, shaping a culture where everyone feels included, supported and able to thrive. As a diverse, community-based organisation, we are ambitious about becoming an employer of choice, attracting, developing and retaining talented people who reflect the communities we serve. Building a sustainable workforce for the future, strengthening engagement, and creating an environment where people can do their very best work will be at the core of your impact.
At mhs homes, we believe that solving the housing crisis starts with our people, and we want to do it brilliantly. This role offers the chance to lead meaningful cultural transformation, influence at the highest level, and leave a lasting legacy across the organisation.
If you are passionate about people, culture and purpose, and are excited by the opportunity to shape the future of a growing and ambitious organisation, we would love to hear from you.
I hope you will consider joining us on this journey. At mhs homes, you won’t just find a role, you will find the opportunity to make a real and lasting difference.
Warm regards,
Marie-Claire Delbrouque
