Core Behaviours:
Core mission:
Your core mission is to protect the CEO’s time, energy, and focus so he can operate at maximum impact. You will ensure he is always in flow, being flexible with diary changes to accommodate this.
You do this by creating calm from chaos, bringing order to complexity, and ensuring the CEO is always working on the right thing at the right moment.
You anticipate what he needs before he asks, remove friction before it’s felt, and resolve problems before they become visible. You thrive in a rapid-paced, constantly shifting environment where clarity, pace and discretion matter more than anything else. You must create the clarity, it will not always be given to you.
You act as the CEO’s extension: thinking how he thinks, prioritising how he prioritises, and smoothing everything around him so he can deliver on HSPG’s mission with zero distraction.
You operate seamlessly across business and personal domains, maintaining absolute discretion, emotional stability and professional maturity at all times.
You work closely with the EA team, to ensure the CEO is protected, the executive team is aligned, and no detail falls through the cracks.

Outcomes & Metrics: the desired result and how we measure it
| 0-3 | Outcomes: the desired result | Metrics: How we measure it |
Build a deep understanding of the CEO’s priorities, rhythms, preferences, energy patterns and pressure points, and begin adapting support accordingly. |
Within 8–10 weeks, CEO confirms you consistently “get” his priorities and working style (qualitative but clear). Demonstrable improvement in how you pre-empt his needs (measured through weekly check-ins). | |
|
Establish full ownership of the CEO’s diary, eliminating conflicts, unnecessary meetings, clashes (ie, allowing for adequate time for potential meetings running over) and low-value activity. |
90–95% diary alignment to CEO’s actual priorities. Zero double-bookings, incorrect holds or preventable clashes. At least three low-value recurring meetings removed, restructured or delegated. |
|
|
Create clarity, calm and flow around the CEO’s work: inbox, tasks, travel, personal admin, reducing cognitive load immediately. |
Noticeable reduction (25%) in CEO needing to chase, remind or re-direct. Faster response management: all diary or priority changes acknowledged same-day; urgent matters within one hour. CEO reports improved mental space and fewer admin interruptions. |
|
|
Build strong working relationships with the EA team, senior leaders and external key contacts, so coordination becomes seamless. |
Positive feedback from COO, EA team and 2+ key external stakeholders on alignment and clarity. All dependencies for diary, travel, docs and briefings run through you without gaps. |
|
|
Support CEO with new proposed organisational schedule, implement it and iterate with him. |
New schedule is implemented, and you support him with assessing effectiveness on a weekly basis. |
|
| 3-6 |

|
Embed a predictable Executive Rhythm (weekly, monthly, quarterly) that protects CEO focus and reduces reactive time. |
Monthly and quarterly rhythms executed without prompting: meetings booked, prep circulated, follow-ups tracked. CEO reports 30%+ improvement in structure, flow and predictability. |
|
|
Manage business and personal domains seamlessly, resolving issues early and maintaining absolute discretion. |
Zero missed tasks across travel, personal admin, logistics or follow-ups. Issues consistently resolved before they escalate: fewer than 1–2 escalations per month reaching CEO. Strict confidentiality maintained: no breaches, no unnecessary involvement from others. |
|
|
Become the single source of truth for the CEO’s schedule, priorities, commitments and follow-through. |
100% accuracy in diary, travel plans, documents and commitments. |
|
| 6-12 |
Fully operate as an extension of the CEO, applying his judgement in filtering, prioritising and decision-support. |
CEO confirms “you think how I think” or “you know what I’d choose” in 80%+ of decisions involving prioritisation. EA filters or delegates 20–30% of inbound requests without CEO input. CEO disruption reduced to minimal levels (only strategic escalations). |
|
Drive operational clarity around the CEO, ensuring meetings, prep, documents and follow-ups run with zero friction. |
98%+ accuracy in meeting preparation, materials, travel logistics and follow-through. All CEO meetings have pre-read, objective, and follow-up actions documented and tracked without CEO intervention. CEO time allocation consistently 70%+ strategic, as measured quarterly. |
|
|
Continuously improve systems and processes that increase CEO focus time and reduce operational noise. |
3–5 meaningful process improvements implemented that tangibly reduce CEO time drain (e.g., inbox system, meeting rules, briefing formats). 15–20% reduction in repeated tasks or avoidable rework across the exec team related to CEO workflow. Clear, documented systems used consistently across support functions. |
|
|
Elevate the EA function, ensuring alignment, consistency and professional standards across the leadership support team. |
EA team demonstrates consistent pace, accuracy and proactivity due to your standards and structure. COO/MD/CFO report improved clarity and coordination as a result of EA alignment with other EAs. EA team self-sufficient for day-to-day support; CEO EA becomes escalation point only for high-level issues. |

There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.
We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across various tenures, as per the image below.
Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our institutional investment partners.

Core Behaviours:
Core mission:
As an Acquisitions Analyst, your mission is to support your team to acquire £100m worth of high-quality housing for PPHA. You will ensure every home you bid on is of a quality that you’d be happy to move your own family (or yourself) into, and that it yields the right returns for PPHA.
Your focus will be to appraise and source new deal opportunities nationwide through a network of housebuilders, developers and agents with whom you will build great, long-lasting relationships. You will personally assist the Head of Acquisitions, Senior Acquisitions Manager and Acquisitions Associate on deals from site identification through to exchange and completion, which means you will be exposed to the full deal cycle.
You will prepare bid packs ready for presentation to our Investment Committee and will be confident presenting these deals to the IC. We have ambitious growth plans, and you will quickly become an essential team player within PPHA team, who originates and manages deals regionally or nationally, ensuring every deal we bid on contributes to our wider mission: building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.
You should treat every acquisition and scheme as if it were your own business, aiming to achieve the best metrics, quality and overall service for both PPHA/HSPG and our customers.

Core Behaviours: The way we act and conduct ourselves, especially towards others. HSPG’s heart and soul.
As part of HSPG, a leading social impact real estate company, PPHA is the Group’s Registered Provider. We partner with local authorities, housebuilders, and investors to create high-quality, affordable homes across Section 106, grant-funded Affordable Rent, and Shared Ownership.
Our mission is simple: to empower futures by giving families and first-time buyers the chance to find stability, security, and a place to call home. By 2030, we aim to deliver quality affordable homes for over 5,000 families. Strengthening communities and transforming lives along the way.
Your mission is to ensure that our customers who are renting through affordable rent, or social rent, can do so in a stable, efficient, financially viable way. You will lead the letting of our affordable and social rented homes across PPHA, and the experience of our new customers. You will own the oversight and delivery of the lettings service, provided by our partner, Pinnacle. You will ensure that every property is let as quickly and efficiently as possible following handover and in line with our Local Authority partner nominations policies.
You will utilise your knowledge of allocations, lettings, nomination agreements, choice-based lettings schemes, and void management. You will hold our partners to account, ensuring void properties are turned around quickly, are in a good state of repair, are safe and compliant, and that value for money and high standards go hand in hand.
You will develop strong partnerships with Pinnacle and the Local Authorities we work in, lead engagement with new Local Authorities to establish nomination agreements in line with S106 requirements, and you will create practical ways of monitoring performance, and improving relet times.
You will work alongside property managers, local authorities, housing providers, and investors, building strong relationships that enable PPHA to grow while staying true to our mission: building partnerships, creating homes and developing communities.
You will make it your mission to provide the best lettings service and customer experience.
