**Job summary**:
We are recruiting for three positions within the Private Rented Sector Division; two will be general policy roles, and one will be a policy and governance oversight role. As the roles will begin after the General Election, their policy responsibilities will develop in line with the priorities of the new administration.

The Private Rented Sector (PRS) division leads on work to improve the experiences of private landlords and tenants, including in terms of housing standards, security and fairness. The Private Rented Sector Division is also responsible for overseeing the protection of landlords’ and tenants’ money, including a requirement for property agents to protect their clients’ money with a government-approved Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme which reimburses in cases where funds are lost.

**Job description**:
One of the roles will be focused on Client Money Protection policy and governance for property agents, and will involve the following responsibilities:

- Relationship management and regular governance lead: the CMP lead will serve as the first point of contact with the six CMP schemes and lead support work (secretariat, actions etc) around quarterly meetings.
- Risk assessments and associated advice: Schemes are designed to pay out on losses. A key regular pillar of our governance is therefore consideration of schemes’ insurance arrangements and whether these are adequate. You will use a pre-agreed framework to scrutinise changes to insurance and communicate the risks these pose to the protection of client funds to senior leaders.
- CMP policy: You will support the Head of Financial Protections on CMP policy considerations. This includes opportunities to monitor strategic risks and consider policy options.
- BAU policy lead: You will be the key point of contact for ad hoc CMP issues and communication of the policy e.g. via briefing and lines to take.

The two other policy roles will involve the following responsibilities:

- Policy Development: Leading and driving policy development relating to private rented sector standards and enforcement. Helping to shape the department’s strategic priorities for the future of the private rented sector
- Ministerial Advice: Advising and briefing Ministers.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Leading and supporting stakeholder engagement, both internally and externally, to ensure different user and stakeholder views are incorporated in policy design.
- Parliamentary Business: Supporting parliamentary business and legislation.
- Collaboration: Working alongside departmental colleagues and a range of other Government departments to understand the broader PRS and housing policy landscape and ensure alignment with wider government policy.

**Person specification**:
**Essential criteria**
- Experience of thinking critically and using evidence to develop policy or arrive at recommendations
- Attention to detail and sensitivity to detail’s impact on policy outcomes or the emergence of risks
- Strong communication skills and ability to think sensitively about how to communicate complex issues or articulate risks, including experience of briefing
- Managing competing pressures to deliver at pace

**Desirable criteria**
- Experience working to implement or draft legislation

**Benefits**:

- Alongside your salary of £38,732, Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities contributes £10,457 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Find out what benefits a Civil Service Pension provides.- Learning and development tailored to your role
