What We Offer...

We understand how important life is outside of work so, as well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are totally committed to flexible working. Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We are all hybrid working at the momentspending some of our time working from home and some based at our offices which are spread across England. The wellbeing of our colleagues remains one of our top priorities.

We will support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what truly matters to you. If you do ever need a little bit of extra help we have a great employee assistance programme, financial well-being support and access to loads of great discountswith leading high street names.

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to truly be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future.

A Bit About The Role...

This is a rare chance to shape the future of affordable housing delivery in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. It’s an exciting time for Homes England as we manage investment of our £7.4bn Affordable Housing Fund, deliveringup to 130,000 much needed affordable homes for sale and rent across the country.

Working in a team with Carol Cairns our Head of Growth for the South-East, you will play a critical role in supporting new business development and investment decisions for our affordable housing programmes. You will be supported by Senior Affordable HousingGrowth Managers and be part of a larger national team of 30 highly skilled people who are committed to making positive change in meeting local affordable housing need and demand. Carol values diversity in experience and perspective to foster good decisionmaking, problem solving and innovation within her team.

Every day is different. You’ll be working with colleagues across Homes England as well as with external partners in housing associations, local authorities, developers and investors involved in affordable housing delivery. This means you may need to travelacross the southern region or further afield to meet partners, visit housing sites and to work with Homes England teams/colleagues in our offices. You’ll also need to carry out "desk-based" technical assessments of the grant funding bids we receive from ourpartners.

Growth Managers play an important role in developing and delivering a pipeline of new high quality affordable housing schemes. You will need to build and maintain effective relationships with our partners to identify new opportunities for affordable housinggrant investment, develop investment propositions and work strategically to plan and implement interventions in markets and places to best meet local housing need and demand.

The team works in a collaborative, flexible and mutually supportive way. This is a great opportunity to develop your existing key skills and knowledge of the affordable housing development sector, or to bring your transferable skills into this role and developyour career in a new sector.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of an incredibly busy fast-paced organisation and make a real difference to the lives of people and to communities.
