Job Description
We are proud to be a values led, person centred organsiation. Our model of change recognises that everyone has a different perspective on the world and that we each need different inputs in order to thrive.
BCHA was founded in 1968 by a group of volunteers in Bournemouth trying to contribute to the local housing problems.

* Support the oversight of existing contract management
* Undertake prospect research and lead on ensuring we are aware of all relevant opportunities
* Develop strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders
* Support the growth of BCHA, a values driven social housing provider in the South and South West of England
Why you’ll love working with us:
You will be a key player in a team dedicated to making an impact. You'll build positive working relationships with like-minded colleagues who are committed to supporting each other and delivering the best for our customers. Bring your expertise, your skills and knowledge, and add real value to our exciting Transformation team.
