Head of Policy, Strategy and Impact
5 days ago
**Summary**:
We are looking for Heads of Policy, Strategy and Impact to join us at the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). This is an exciting time for us as an organisation as the Government’s Social Housing Regulation Bill, once passed, will extend our remit to include proactive regulation of our consumer standards in Local Authorities (LAs) as well as in Private Registered Providers (PRPs). This means we will have additional powers and responsibilities around the importance of safe, decent homes for social housing tenants and on landlord transparency and accountability.
The RSH is faced with a growing range of policy questions to deal with, a wider set of objectives to deliver against, increasingly high-profile casework and a fast-changing operating environment. This increases the need for capacity to think strategically, consider scenarios and risk, and develop and monitor effective responses. Working closely with stakeholders across government, tenants and landlords to ensure the RSH has the right strategy, policy approach and impact, this is a fantastic opportunity for a experienced professional at the heart of social housing policy-making.
In this role you will manage a team contributing to the RSH’s strategy, working on policy questions and the development of the regulatory framework, and assessing the impact of the RSH’s activity.
Reporting to an Assistant Director - Policy, Strategy and Impact, and often matrix-working with colleagues across the Strategy Directorate and wider RSH, you will contribute to policy advice to the RSH’s Board and Executive and manage the RSH’s statutory consultations. You will represent the RSH in discussions with government and wider stakeholders over policy and legislation and provide policy advice to the RSH’s Board and Executive.
Through participating in horizon scanning and regular scenario testing you will contribute to ensuring the RSH maintains a strong understanding of its risk environment, how it may develop and where its risk appetite lies. You will identify and develop responses to trends, issues and policy questions, seeking to ensure that we stay ahead of the game and delivers its objectives. And you will close the loop on assessing the effectiveness of our strategy by implementing an approach to gathering assurance on impact.
