Habinteg Ulster has appointed a new Head of Housing.

Judith McNamee has been working in the social housing sector in Northern Ireland for two decades, having first joined the Housing Executive's Graduate Trainee programme in 2002.

In each of these roles Judith strove to ensure that she and her teams provided high quality housing services meeting and often exceeding the needs and expectations of tenants and stakeholders alike.


Judith is passionate about providing quality social housing and support services and has a wealth of experience of community involvement; empowering tenants to be actively involved in their local communities. She has led and mentored many teams throughout her career; often through times of uncertainty and change, always ensuring dynamic service development by valuing team participation and ensuring continued professional development.
