You will be joining us at an exciting time as we grow and change to take on additional powers and responsibilities, which will help us drive improvement in social housing landlords.**Job description**:
You will lead our communications team to operate strategically, manage risks, and support our regulation. This includes providing credible and strategic internal and external communications advice at all levels within RSH, including to the Chief Executive and Chair, based on your strong understanding of the media and stakeholder landscape.

You will embed a modern, professional approach to communications within the team and across RSH, including effective planning and evaluation.
