Cambridge has become a major incubator of successful tech start-ups contributing significantly to the UK economy. However, Cambridgeshire and its surrounding areas face significant challenges. Water, transport and housing problems affect the quality of life for Cambridgeshire’s residents leading to some global science businesses choosing different locations, notwithstanding Cambridge’s research reputation,

To address these challenges and to ensure Greater Cambridge can continue to thrive and bring even greater benefits to the UK economy and world science and health, the Cambridge Growth Company Limited (CGC) has been established. CGC is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Homes England.

This is an exciting role supporting CGC during its formative stages. This permanent role will initially be within Homes England, but it is expected the role will transfer to CGC when it transitions to a Development Corporation or successor body (likely to be in about 18 months’ time).

A bit about you…

The successful candidate will support the Assistant Director Legal, Equity and Joint Ventures with delivering and managing an innovative, proactive, professional legal service to the CCGC and the wider Cambridge place-based project.

Leading on all matters relating to the delivery of legal advice including equity finance and joint venture agreements and related documents, lending arrangements and public funding, corporate and property related matters.

Homes England: The Housing and Regeneration Agency

We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. And we use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting the utmost attention to building safety.

Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come.
