**Job summary**:
Here at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), we work on things that make a real difference to people’s lives.

Whether it's through the homes we live in, the work of our local councils, or the communities we’re all part of, our work is at the top of the political agenda. We have ambitious and far-reaching outcomes to achieve this year and, if you’re thinking of joining us, there’s never been a more exciting time.

We have over 3,500 staff who are based in 20 offices across the UK.

The remediation programmes exist to improve the lives of those who live in buildings with unsafe cladding. The remediation work began six years ago to make buildings safer following the Grenfell Tower fire. Since then, we have made progress in fixing unsafe cladding but there is much more to do to meet the scale of the challenge.

Delivery is conducted through five programmes with a much greater role for Homes England, the Building Safety Regulator, social housing providers and developers. As the complexity and scale of remediation increases, a Portfolio model is being implemented. We are establishing a new function, System Design, as part of the Portfolio. The System Design function will take a holistic view of the entire remediation landscape to identify, evaluate and support the implementation of changes.

The System Design team will work collaboratively across teams within remediation around policy change and to develop a system view.
