There couldn’t be a better time to work in Affordable Housing at Homes England following the biggest settlement announced as part of the Spending Review of a 10 year £39bn Social and Affordable Homes Programme.
You will be part of a team working closely with government and sector partners to deliver this ambitious programme. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by the opportunity to shape delivery, especially as we implement our regional, place-based operating model.
Working closely with the Head of, as part of a new Regional Delivery Directorate, you will have a unique opportunity, working with key stakeholders and a range of internal HE teams and will play a key role in increasing affordable housing supply, with a strong focus on investment decision-making. You will ensure a consistent and high-quality approach to applications into the Social and Affordable Homes Programme, leading the assessment and approval of bids within agreed governance and delegated authority.
You will provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to senior leaders, including the Director of Affordable Housing, helping to shape investment decisions that deliver value for money and maximise impact. Your role will be critical in ensuring funding is directed towards the right opportunities to accelerate delivery and meet regional and strategic priorities.
You will be joining our highly experienced team who are committed to making positive change in people’s lives. The team believes in working in a collaborative way to foster good decision making and problem solving within their team.
You should excel at partnership working and collaboration, be an excellent communicator, and have an extensive network of industry leads across the sector with an understanding of funding models and delivery of affordable housing.
It is essential that you can work collaboratively and develop effective relationships both internally and externally, work within a political environment and adapt your style to maximise contributions from a diverse range of partners.
You will need to demonstrate extensive knowledge of the affordable housing sector, understanding of development and viability appraisals as well as regional and local housing markets.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a regional affordable housing team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
