After years of campaigning, the government's recent Spending Review delivered a transformational package of funding for social housing. It will enable us to deliver the biggest social housebuilding programme since the post-war period and to better protect our existing social homes. It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join our organisation.
Over the coming years, we’ll be a key partner in helping the government achieve its housebuilding targets, delivering long-term benefits to residents and communities.
We also have exciting plans to boost the public’s understanding of our sector and ensure that housing associations are seen as an employer of choice.
This is a chance for someone with significant leadership experience and a real interest in social housing, public affairs and policy to join us and help make those ambitions a reality. You will get the opportunity to work on some of the toughest (and most interesting) social, economic and policy issues in the country.
Please apply demonstrating the following:
- Significant leadership and management experience as part of a senior leadership team
- In-depth understanding of the political environment and how this impacts housing
- Proven track record of developing relationships with government and associated bodies at a senior level
- Understanding of policy development and how it can be supported by research to influence and change the operating environment for housing associations
- Experience in developing successful organisational strategies and translating those strategies into actionable plans to deliver results
- Confident media spokesperson with experience of giving high-profile interviews
- Proven track record of delivering high performance through management, coaching and driving culture change
- Ability to manage budgets effectively and deliver value for money
- Ability to work flexibly to meet the requirements of the job role
- Experience of working in a membership organisation/trade body (desirable)
