Regeneration Manager - Social Housing

As a Regeneration Manager, you will lead the early stages of a varied portfolio of housing led regeneration schemes, shaping them from initial appraisal through planning and into pre-delivery. Working closely with the Head of Regeneration, you will ensure each project is financially robust, compliant, fundable and aligned with SettleParadigm's wider Regeneration Strategy. This is a hybrid role with a requirement to attend the office for at least two days per week (this could be High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire or Letchworth, Hertfordshire).

At SettleParadigm, we are proud to be the largest housing group in the region, managing over 30,000 homes across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire. Everything we do is about delivering excellent services, high quality homes, neighbourhoods we can be proud of and maximising the number of new affordable homes we build. Through our merger, we have brought together shared values, skills and ambition, so we can build more affordable homes and make an even bigger difference in the communities we serve.

If you are ready to grow your career in a supportive, inclusive environment while helping to shape stronger communities, we would love to welcome you on our journey. Together, we are building a better future.

In this role, you will coordinate teams of professional consultants, manage procurement activity and work confidently with contractors, local authorities, funding partners such as Homes England and a range of internal stakeholders. A major focus of the role is people: building trust, fostering collaboration and engaging sensitively with residents and communities affected by regeneration. You will work with the Regeneration Engagement Officer to implement Resident Charters, decant and buy-back strategies, and ensure communication is clear, honest and timely. You will represent SettleParadigm at Resident Steering Groups and help maintain positive relationships with stakeholders throughout sometimes complex and emotionally challenging journeys.

You will bring strong commercial acumen alongside excellent interpersonal skills, balancing financial viability with a genuine commitment to delivering socially responsible outcomes. You will manage risks effectively, support robust due diligence, ensure compliance with regulatory and organisational requirements and champion continuous improvement within the regeneration function. As an ambassador for SettleParadigm, your ability to influence, negotiate and build productive partnerships will be key to driving high-quality, community-centred regeneration forward.
