5 days ago


Huddersfield, United Kingdom University of Huddersfield Full time

Job description
**Fixed term for 2 years, 37 hours per week**

We are looking for a Decarbonisation Research and Engagement Lead, to lead an exciting Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between Together Housing Group and the University of Huddersfield, which will drive and embed strategic change and innovation within the social housing sector.

Decarbonisation of UK housing stock through retrofit has been described as one of the major engineering challenges of the twenty-first century. Whilst the sector is used to undertaking standard property investments (e.g., installing new kitchens and bathrooms), complying with the carbon reduction agenda requires significant changes in lifestyle and behaviour of tenants, as well as changes in the understanding and approaches of social housing staff.

You will coordinate an extensive programme of work which encompasses research and stakeholder engagement, driving the development and implementation of a model and toolkit for increasing uptake of decarbonising retrofit measures in the sector.

**The Role**

Throughout the 24-month project, you will conduct primary and secondary research to engage with tenants, Together Housing Group colleagues, and other relevant organisations in the social housing sector. This will underpin the design and development of an effective model, toolkit and communication strategy to increase the uptake of decarbonising retrofit measures across a wide range of groups. You will be responsible for project and change management, driving innovation and impact across not only Together Housing Group, but the wider sector.

**The Person**

You will have industry and commercial experience in a professional customer/public-facing environment, with the ability to conduct quantitative and qualitative research, and utilise excellent communication skills to demonstrate findings. You will embrace principles of inclusion and diversity, taking an empathic approach to working with a broad range of tenants and other stakeholders.

**The Company**

Together Housing Group manages over 36,000 properties, providing a comprehensive range of support services which affect over 40,000 people’s lives over a huge geographical area in the North of England. Employing around 1,400 staff, Together Housing Group’s corporate vision is to offer consistently brilliant services, put social impact at the heart of everything and be a great place to work. Members of the Group include Together Housing Association, Together Homes, Together Energy and Newground.
