Job summary

This is an exciting time to join Homes England, the government’s housing delivery Agency. We have the resources, influence, and diverse expertise to drive positive market change through our significant investment activity. The government has put housing at the heart of its agenda, and the Agency is at the forefront of that commitment with a mission to intervene in the market to ensure more homes are built in areas of greatest need to improve affordability. Homes England will make this sustainable by creating a more resilient and diverse housing market, with a focus on quality. 

To help achieve this aim, government has committed £16 billion of capital to be invested and managed through Homes England Investment Directorate.  

The Investment Directorate is evolving into a significantly more powerful and flexible investment arm, reconstituted as the National Housing Bank. This transition provides not only increased capital to be deployed but also broader powers, more autonomy and a clearer investment mandate, positioning Homes England as a central driver of both housing supply and long term housing market reform.  This includes direct lending, equity investment, guarantees, land assembly and the biggest affordable home building programme in a generation. 

The role of the Product, Equity and Partnerships team is to attract new and additional capital and partners to the housing sector and create platforms that act as conduits for institutional capital to aid in the delivery of high-quality homes in well-designed places.  This team has the appetite and resources to shape the future of housing investment in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. 

We do this by making selective equity investments into housing led delivery platforms structured as joint ventures, partnerships and third-party investment funds.  These leverage wider investment to achieve outcomes that are a significant multiple of the Agency’s participation.  

A bit about the role

This is a unique opportunity to join the Agency at a pivotal moment in housing delivery and to be part of the growth of the Agency's Product, Equity and Partnerships team.  We have recently contracted on a number of new investments with our partners in investment, regeneration and house building and have a strong pipeline to progress and the ambition to do more.  We are growing the team at all levels and are looking for skilled and passionate professionals to join us.
