Senior Public Affairs Officer

We have an exciting opportunity for someone with relevant experience to take on a new role at the centre of our public affairs work. At a time when housing is at the forefront of the Government’s agenda, it’s vital that the North’s housing sector can effectively make its voice heard with ministers, MPs, and civil servants.

We’re looking for a politically astute public affairs professional to help bring our Public Affairs Strategy to life. You’ll be experienced in working in public affairs and will be working closely with our senior leadership team to develop and implement our public affairs strategy and plan. You’ll be working with stakeholders at the heart of government and UK politics, developing and delivering our influencing work with politicians, senior civil servants, stakeholders and our members.

Knowledge of housing, regeneration and the wider work of NHC members is desirable but not essential.

Policy Officer
We have an exciting opportunity for somebody early in their career in housing policy, to join our well-established policy and public affairs team. At a time when housing policy is at the forefront of the government’s agenda, it is vital that the North’s housing sector can effectively make its voice heard to influence government policy. This role will help lift up the North’s voice, supporting the NHC in building a robust evidence base and communicating its messages to a wide range of stakeholders, both inside and outside of government.

Prior knowledge of government policy around housing, regeneration, net zero, devolution and local government, as well as experience of working on or delivering research projects, is desirable but not essential. All that we ask is that you have a clear passion and interest in housing, and in the ambition of our members to create better homes and places across the North.
