This is an exciting time to join us as Sovereign has partnered with Network Homes to establish SNG (Sovereign Network Group). Together, we manage over 84,000 homes and invest in communities across London and Southern England – our mission is to provide high-quality affordable housing and vibrant communities that people will cherish for years to come.

The Role

In this role, reporting to the Assistant Director of Development Delivery, you will collaborate with development delivery teams and various stakeholders, both internally and externally, to ensure a seamless transition of newly built homes into our business. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Creating New Property Information Packs (NPIPs) containing detailed scheme information and documentation for all new developments, such as legal paperwork, site layouts, HSE compliance, warranties, shared ownership/sales, etc.
  • Monitoring and reviewing incoming documentation in readiness for unit handovers, proactively flagging missing information to our teams, and distributing to the relevant parties.
  • Monitoring legal platforms for incoming data, uploading it to our local files and folders promptly.
  • Updating the SEMS system at the commencement of each new development with site outlines and other pertinent details.
  • Supporting Project Managers and the Charging Officer in creating Charging Packs to ensure timely availability to the Treasury team.
  • Aiding in compiling information necessary for internal and external audits, including those for Homes England.

  • Exceptional communication skills to engage with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
  • The ability to work under tight deadlines and effectively prioritize tasks.
  • Proficiency in IT, particularly in MS Excel and MS Word.
