Can you bring structure, support, and clear direction to a skilled technical team?

I am working with a Housing Association based in Newcastle to recruit for a Cloud Infrastructure and Security Lead to join an established technical team and lead them through meaningful digital transformation.

Requirements:

• Experience leading and managing technical teams, ideally within infrastructure and cloud-based services.
• Strong understanding of Azure, Security, and Networking.
• Leadership style that develops people, brings clarity, and fosters a high-performing team.

What’s in it for you?

• Real Leadership Influence:
  Reporting directly to the Head of ICT & Digital, you'll help shape strategy, build team culture, and futureproof digital services.
• A Supportive Environment:
  Join a leadership team that values openness, honesty, and personality. You won't be alone.
• Modern Tech Stack:
  Fully cloud-supported on Azure, working with technologies like Microsoft Intune, AVD, and Cisco networking. Responsible for security in the digital transformation.
• A Culture That Cares:
  Prioritising wellbeing, inclusion, and team development. Bring your ideas and drive positive change.

This is a hybrid role working 3 days a week onsite in Newcastle.
