Nb within the NHF this role is known as 'Policy Leader' but it is equivalent to a Senior Policy Advisor in other settings.

An exciting opportunity has arisen at the National Housing Federation (NHF) for a senior policy advisor to lead our policy and strategy work on housing supply, development and planning, at a critical time for social housing supply.
The NHF is the voice of housing associations in England. We are the trade body to almost 600 housing associations, who have grown from philanthropic roots to provide 2.6 million homes to around six million people. You can find further information about the NHF on our website. 
This role is a crucial and exciting one within our policy team, the wider organization and the social housing sector. Social housing supply is high on the political agenda and housing associations are working closely with the government on the policy and funding environment needed to allow us to deliver the biggest boost to social and affordable housebuilding in a generation. This role will put you at the heart of this national issue.
Whether this is making a persuasive and evidence-based case to the government for additional grant funding to build new homes, or working with sector experts on the detail of planning, development or regeneration policy, or meeting with civil servants, developers, planners, local government and other stakeholders on behalf of our members, this role is central to our work influencing national social housing policy.
Please scroll down to the bottom of the page to download the full job profile and person specification for this role.

Key elements of the role:

- Shape and lead our policy work on key strategic issues for housing associations around housing supply – including planning, funding, development management, skills;
- Develop evidence and ideas on technical policy areas into salient policy solutions that will make a difference for the sector and influence government;
- Represent the NHF to senior colleagues in government, members and external stakeholders with credibility, expertise and political judgement;
- Communicate with and provide advice to members on critical changes to policy and the external environment.

The successful candidate:
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate:

- An ability to lead the development of credible, robust, evidence based policy, including on complex and technical policy areas;
- An ability to communicate credibly, clearly and persuasively in writing and in person including to Chief Executives, senior government officials and development professionals;
- An ability to draft, oversee, adapt and deliver complex plans for the delivery of multiple projects or programmes of work;
- A strong interest in and passion for social housing and for social housing supply, through previous experience in either development or housing roles, and capacity to quickly learn the technical details of housing association development and operating models.

Equality, diversity and inclusion
The NHF has published its equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, which was co-created with staff. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and we value the contribution each individual makes to our work.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and are working to increase the diversity profile of our workforce. We are currently under-represented by ethnic minorities, people with a disability or disabilities and LGBTQ+, and would particularly welcome applications from people in these groups.

Disability confident employer

We are happy to consider reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process if you have a disability or have a condition that you feel may affect your performance during the recruitment process.
