Summary

About the job

We are the Government’s national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of house-building across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues – meaning people are struggling to find homes.

We have the appetite, influence, expertise and resources to drive positive market change and meet the Government’s ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year. We are using our land, influence, funds and knowledge to increase the pace, scale and quality of new homes accelerating delivery in areas of greatest demand and helping create great places to live. Within the next few years, we will have invested over £27 billion across our programmes. To deliver against these aims we’re building a different kind of public service - join us to help make this happen.

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We are all working from home at the moment and so our new colleagues can be based almost anywhere providing that their commute to their relevant base office is reasonable when we come back together. Colleague well-being is our top priority.

Please note that Homes England are currently consulting on a pay and grading review. We will share information with candidates about the outcome of this review and any impact that this may have on this role throughout the recruitment process.

Job Description

Working in a team led by Helen Petty, our Head of Fund Transition, this Senior Manager post will play a critical role in developing and implementing the strategic and operational framework for Homes England’s new funds. You will be joining our small but highly skilled team who work collaboratively across Delivery Enabling Services (DES) and the wider Agency, as well as holding relationships with MHCLG.

The team is dedicated to delivering a first-class customer service, providing delivery teams across Investment, Development and MPP with the processes, systems and tools they require to deliver on the Agency’s strategic objectives. The team works in a collaborative and transparent manner with internal and external stakeholders.

This is a rare chance to shape the ways of working in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders and a professional team you will have the opportunity to help create a more efficient, effective and dynamic operating environment in which the Agency can deliver.

The role will support the design and delivery of key strategic initiatives to enable operation of the new funds announced at the 2020 and 2021 Spending Reviews. There are many ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the strategic offering.

ResponsibilitiesWhilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

You’ll be comfortable supporting the Head of Team and Assistant Director with complex matters, aiming to balance the needs of an array of different stakeholders. You will have a thorough understanding of the work undertaken by our colleagues in Investment, Development and MPP, and an appreciation of the activity required to set up and manage large scale government funded housing programmes.

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. You will enjoy working in an innovative and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

As an experienced professional you’ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
