Senior Project Manager - New Homes Accelerator Regional

Closing Date: 31/08/2026

Interviews will take place week commencing 14/09/20206

 

About the role...

 

Working in the recently expanded and evolving New Homes Accelerator programme, we are recruiting two new positions to play a critical role in supporting the government’s drive to build 1.5 million homes and boost economic growth across the country.  

The New Homes Accelerator programme, launched in September 2024, tackles various obstacles that delay or hinder the delivery of much needed new homes across England. Building on the biggest planning reforms in over a decade, the Accelerator programme provides developers, housing associations, and boroughs with access to coordinated government-backed support, designed to overcome some of the biggest barriers to delivery – from planning and infrastructure delays to regulatory challenges. Since inception the Accelerator has accelerated delivery of 133,000 homes.

This is a rare chance to facilitate the delivery of new homes and meaningful place-building in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders across the sector and partnering with experienced delivery and operational management colleagues, the New Homes Accelerator team will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of housing delivery barriers, and help thousands more families and young people achieve the dream of home ownership.     

These roles will collectively support the design, delivery and monitoring of key strategic projects that tackle new housing delivery at the site-level. Just as importantly, the New Homes Accelerator strives to deliver system-wide reforms, including working with other government departments and arms-length bodies on challenges include statutory consultee processes, key infrastructure delivery, and energy solutions. There are a number of creative and ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an exciting time to join the team, balancing day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative programme design solutions.

Homes England values diversity in experience and perspective to foster good decision making and problem solving within their teams.
