Government, in response to the scale and urgency of Scotland’s housing challenges and the need for a stronger, more delivery focussed approach to housing supply. The creation of More Homes Scotland reflects a commitment to address these challenges by simplifying how housing delivery is supported, strengthening operational focus, and enabling greater scale and speed of delivery across all tenures. To support the move from programme design to implementation, a dedicated, time-limited Transition Team has been established. The Transition Team’s primary goal is to design, coordinate and oversee the establishment of More Homes Scotland, ensuring the agency is set up in a coherent, well governed and deliverable way.
Responsibilities
- Develop the agency’s Target Operating Model, clarifying its core functions, roles and ways of working
- Coordinate governance, assurance, finance and resourcing actively to ensure readiness for implementation
- Support informed Ministerial decision making and alignment with wider public service reform objectives
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across Scottish Government and with stakeholders to draw on delivery expertise and share the agency’s design
The Transition Team will play a critical role in ensuring More Homes Scotland is positioned to move confidently into its next phase, with clear purpose, strong foundations and a shared understanding of how it will operate and add value.
