Can you spot the next great development opportunity and turn it into quality new homes?
We’re looking for a commercially minded Development Lead – New Business to identify, assess and secure development opportunities that support our growth ambitions. You’ll work with colleagues and partners to turn promising sites into well-designed, viable schemes that make a real difference to our customers and communities.
From initial appraisal through to handover, you’ll bring together the commercial, financial and practical detail needed to give each scheme the best possible start. You’ll build positive relationships with developers, local authorities, contractors, consultants, solicitors and funders, while keeping our customers at the heart of your decisions.
You’ll bring a background in development within a registered housing provider and a good understanding of the social housing sector. Commercially confident and organised, you’ll be comfortable managing competing priorities, budgets, financial appraisals, risk and contractual information.
Working with local authorities and property developers on development, construction or regeneration projects will be important. Knowledge of SDS ProVal or Homes England’s IMS system would be helpful, but it isn’t a dealbreaker.
You’ll need a full UK driving licence, access to a vehicle and appropriate insurance for work purposes.
What you’ll be doing
- Assessing sites and completing financial appraisals
- Negotiating commercial terms and managing risk
- Developing viable, deliverable schemes that reflect local needs
- Guiding schemes through approvals, funding and key milestones
- Working with colleagues and partners to progress each scheme
- Providing clear reports and a comprehensive handover to Programme Delivery
Sounds like me, so what are you offering?
You’ll join a friendly, supportive organisation with an amazing culture and a real focus on health and wellbeing. Alongside competitive benefits, including private healthcare options and discount schemes, you’ll have brilliant opportunities to grow and develop in a team where your judgement is trusted, your ideas are welcomed and your knowledge is valued.
Best of all, your work will help us provide quality homes and services that enable people and communities across our region to thrive.
We’re proud to be Investors in People Platinum accredited – recognition of our commitment to giving our people the best possible experience at work.
