The Central team is led by Mike Goulding, Development Director, with a management team comprising Heads Of Planning, Heads Of Disposals, and Project Directors. The North team is led by Jon Irvine, Development Director, with a management team comprising the same. The Head of Planning and Enabling will play a critical role in the strategic preparation of a variety of sites for the development market.

This is an exciting and fast paced role, where you will be leading a multi-disciplinary team of planning and project management professionals (internal and consultant teams) together with the other Heads Of team. You will have responsibility for all aspects of the planning/upfront delivery process throughout the development life cycle (including supporting acquisitions with planning appraisals and disposals with assessments of compliance with permissions and design codes/master plan frameworks), and associated risk management work (including oversight of necessary licences, agreements to meet statutory obligations).

The development team is committed to providing high quality in-house expertise and it is very important to approach difficult and complex sites with the objective of creating practical and highly deliverable strategic solutions that accord with Homes England Strategic Plan objectives. The team must always be prepared to ensure that development solutions are focused clearly on the market, local communities, and deliver quality places. The use of commercial expertise and innovation is a key requirement.

It is also very important to work collaboratively with other teams in Homes England to create strategic solutions, and to work in close partnership with all external partners in the development sector and with County and Local Authorities. The Development Directorate is committed to ensuring that diversity is at the centre of team activity to improve productivity and performance in all aspects of its work.

**A bit about you**:
We require a highly experienced planning/development professionals with a track record of leading a team to deliver highly complex planning and technical solutions for a variety of development sites, ranging in size from approximately 100 new homes to large strategic sites with the capability of delivering up to 5000 new homes.

The position requires a high level of performance and focus on quality, with clear business planning targets to be achieved and a commitment to innovate and improve the pace of delivery wherever possible.

The job requires a high level of resilience, forward and strategic thinking, and ability to manage positive working relationships at senior level both within Homes England and in partner organisations at Director and Chief Executive level. It is particularly important to have a clear understanding of the commercial and operational impact of work undertaken, and an ability to represent Homes England confidently and professionally in meetings with external groups, particularly community based organisations and Local Authorities.

As an experienced planning and/or enabling/development professional with a background in project management you will be confident to build, motivate and lead a high performing team with specific performance objectives to be achieved within the required timescales. This will require working in a highly collaborative, positive and inclusive way with due respect for the opinions and views of partner organisations.

The job also requires a very clear sense of purpose to confidently negotiate and achieve the required site specific planning outcomes to deliver highly sustainable, good quality, and long term development solutions.
