• Working in the Affordable Housing Programmes and Products team, you will play a key role in the development, launch and delivery of the new Social and Affordable Homes Programme. The team sits within the agency’s wider Affordable Housing Grants team and has a crucial role in supporting the government to deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housing delivery in a generation.

You will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across the agency – as well as the wider affordable housing sector – to ensure the recently announced programme is launched and delivered as seamlessly as possible. You will also be involved in identifying ways to further enhance the delivery of social and affordable housing.

You will work as part of a small, but friendly and talented, team who are committed to delivering real social impact through affordable housing. This will include developing programme guidance, leading stakeholder engagement, and supporting the introduction of new digital services.

You will engage with the affordable housing sector – building and maintaining relationships with MHCLG, representative bodies, and delivery partners – to ensure the new programme continues to reflect their ambitions and priorities.

This is a rare chance to shape the future of social and affordable housing delivery in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose.

• You will be passionate about social and affordable housing – and its positive impact on overall housing delivery and peoples’ lives.
• You will be adept at working collaboratively and building relationships with a diverse range of internal and external colleagues in pursuit of a shared mission and set of objectives.
• You’ll be an agile operator with strong communications skills and an eye for detail, and be confident at juggling multiple projects and tasks, with speed not haste. You’ll be comfortable leading or contributing to operational and strategic tasks through clear action or advice, working at managerial level.
• You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
