What is Lincolnshire Housing Partnership like to work for? We’re a local housing association with our roots firmly fixed in our Grimsby and Boston communities, many of our colleagues were born in the same areas that we serve. This gives our teams an additional sense of purpose to improve the lives of our customers.

But we also know there are cultural gaps to address, as highlighted by a recent extensive audit. We’re ready to address those challenges with honesty and commitment, and this role is crucial in helping us build the culture our colleagues deserve, and our customers expect.

As an LHP Colleague, you’ll also receive some great benefits:

• The ability to earn additional holiday days through full attendance
• Mental Health First Aiders across the business, let’s be there for each other!

What will a typical week be as Project & Delivery Manager? Working at LHP offers variety, challenge and the chance to make a real difference - but it’s not always easy. We’re an organisation in transition, which means there’s real scope to shape, influence and grow. For those who thrive in complexity and care about meaningful, values-led work, it’s an opportunity to be part of something that matters. This is an exciting opportunity, as this is a brand-new role within LHP. We’d expect the successful person to make this role their own.
