Internal job title: Manager - Continuous Improvement

 A bit about the role...   

Working in a team led by our Senior Continuous Improvement Manager, the Improvement Delivery Partner will play a critical role in working with teams to identify and deliver improvements to processes and ways of working across Homes England. You will be joining our newly formed CI team committed to making a positive change to how our services are delivered.   

We have established a CI framework, rooted in the kaizen concept of continual small-scale change, to help us deliver rapid solutions. This is a rare chance to deliver hands on tactical improvements that improve day to day operations, improving colleague satisfaction and contributing to the strategic goals of the Agency by improving efficiency and effectiveness.  

A bit about you… 

You’ll be comfortable working with a multitude of stakeholders across all levels to help them identify and implement rapid improvements. Your stakeholder management and influencing skills will be second to none and you will inspire confidence in others as you guide them through the CI framework to realise small-scale, tangible improvements.  

You’ll be comfortable working on multiple improvement initiatives concurrently, through both identifying and delivering improvements yourself, and supporting others to make improvements. You’ll be equally comfortable across a range of tasks, from supporting teams to ensure consistency by developing guidance and templates through to attending meetings with senior leaders to discuss how CI can enhance operations. You’ll be proficient in facilitating discussions and workshops to get to the root cause of a problem, quickly able to understand others’ processes and drivers to come up with impactful solutions.  

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as an Agency.  

As an experienced improvement professional you’ll understand the importance of rapid small-scale change, how to manage relationships with colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.  

Who are we? 

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.

What we offer... 

As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you. 

Membership of the Homes and Communities Agency Pension Scheme, which is a contributory defined benefit scheme with the amount you receive on retirement based on your salary and years worked at the Agency.

Internal applicants: please note that if you are successful, the salary you are offered will be in accordance with our pay policy. You can find details on the HR Hub SharePoint site.

If you ever need a bit of extra help, we have a great employee assistance programme, a wide range of healthcare plans, financial wellbeing support and access to many great discounts with leading high street names. 

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future. 

If you are a member of a professional body, we’ll pay for your membership and once you get your digital kit, you’ll be good to go. 

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We work to a 50/50 office/ home based model. Moving back into our office environments has enabled us to utilise our space and time together in the most collaborative way. 

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. 

We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.

Our people remain at the heart of everything we do, and we’re committed to building an Agency that not only reflects the diverse communities we serve, but also champions inclusion in how we shape homes and places across the country.
