**Job summary**:
DLUHC is responsible for some of the most high-profile issues across Government, including ensuring everyone has access to a safe, secure and affordable home; regenerating towns and high streets; and supporting local government to deliver vital services.

The Housing, Markets & Strategy Directorate sits at the heart of DLUHC’s Regeneration Group, working with our housing, planning and regeneration directorates. The Directorate is responsible for some of the most high-profile issues across Government, including delivering the homes the country needs and supporting the housing sector through the current economic climate. It is a welcoming and supportive place to work - we pride ourselves on our strong networks, our focus on fostering talent and our outward-facing approach.

The Housing Supply and Markets Division is a friendly division that works across Government and with ministers/SpAds in DLUHC to help ensure we deliver the homes the country needs. The division is responsible for the Government’s housing supply strategy, including the commitment to continue working towards delivering 300,000 homes a year in England, as well as wider work to ensure we have a diverse and competitive housebuilding market that works for everyone.

**Job description**:
**Senior Policy Adviser - Housing Investments**

The Housing Investments Team sits at the heart of this work delivering financial support programmes to help SME developers and MMC innovators. With Homes England, the team are responsible for delivery of the recently launched £1.5bn Levelling Up Home Building Fund and its predecessor, the Home Building Short Term Fund. We also hold policy responsibility for championing the Build to Rent sector and overseeing the New Homes Bonus, our principal incentive to Local Authorities to drive housing delivery.

**Senior Policy Adviser - SME Team**

The SME Housebuilding Team is responsible for championing the sector and delivering interventions to support our vital SME housebuilders. The team works across the department and with Homes England to develop, design, and implement cross-cutting policy that will diversify the housebuilding sector. This work is essential to delivering our housebuilding targets, as SMEs play a critical role delivering the homes communities need. They help diversify the market, deliver the new homes our country needs, and often built out sites too small or niche for the volume developers to consider.

The post holder will have the opportunity to work in a busy team on cross-cutting policies to support SMEs, including finance, planning, land, and skills. It will require excellent stakeholder management skills, policy analysis skills, and creative thinking skills. This is a stretching role; the new senior policy advisor will have the opportunity to develop their leadership abilities and will be expected to take on different workstreams in line with ministerial priorities. The role has recently involved a lot of ministerial interest and briefing, so briefing experience would be welcomed.

**Role/Responsibilities**:

- Lead the delivery of at least one programme workstream, taking responsibility for programme management and working closer with our delivery partners, like Homes England, to ensure it is delivered on time, within budget and fulfils the project objectives.
- Develop strong sector knowledge to effectively advise Ministers and senior officials on institutional investment and SME housebuilding.
- Prepare high quality submissions and briefings at pace on a range of investment and operational delivery issues as required.
- Support the team's strategic approach to stakeholder engagement, taking a lead in managing the relationship with specific stakeholders and on key issues.
- Build strong working relationship with internal colleagues and other government departments.
- Work closely with Homes England to resolve operational issues and explore policy thinking.

**Person specification**:
**Person specification and essential criteria**:

- Excellent ability to get up to speed quickly on diverse policy areas
- Ability to work at pace amidst ambiguity
- Strong analytical skills, including ability to use data and evidence to understand what drives a problem and to develop solutions
- Resilience and calmness under pressure when dealing with changing priorities and fast-moving areas of work
- Excellent communication skills and ability
