Help build the National Housing Bank

 

The National Housing Bank (NHB) is a new government-backed financial institution established to unlock investment and accelerate housing delivery across England.

Backed by £16bn of financial capacity, the NHB will crowd in over £50bn of private investment and support the delivery of 500,000 additional homes.

We're recruiting two Assistant Directors to help establish our new regional investment and place-based origination function:

  • Assistant Director - North (North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber)
  • Assistant Director - South (London & East, Midlands, South)

These roles can be based from a range of Homes England offices:

North role: Leeds (preferred), Manchester, Liverpool or Newcastle

South role: London, Birmingham, Bristol or Northstowe

We're open to candidates based across the relevant geography, subject to regular travel within the region and attendance at other NHB and Homes England locations as required.

 

The Role

 

Working closely with Homes England regional teams, local partners and NHB product specialists, you'll identify, develop and progress housing and regeneration investment opportunities, helping connect places and projects to the Bank's debt, equity and guarantee capabilities.

You'll build senior relationships across the public and private sectors, develop regional pipelines and help shape how the National Housing Bank supports housing delivery, regeneration and growth across England.

 

About You

 

You'll bring a proven track record in investment, banking, finance, real estate, regeneration or a related sector, together with a strong track record of developing opportunities, building senior stakeholder relationships and operating in complex environments.

 

Why Join Us?

 

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a major new institution from the ground up and play a leading role in supporting housing delivery and economic growth at scale across England.
