As a Senior Change Officer, you will play a critical role in leading the change projects necessary for the service to improve and succeed within the strengthened and much more rigorously regulated environment in which social housing now operates, following the introduction of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 and Consumer Standards Framework – all of which represent the biggest change to social housing in many years.
Change projects in N&H are varied, service-wide, and often complex. Examples of current projects with which the team is involved include: Compliance Management, Adaptations Case Management, Repairs Improvements, Modernization of the Independent Living Offer, Digital Technology for Routine Tenancy Visits, and many others.
The successful candidate will:

Provide a solid source of advice, guidance, and support to help operational delivery teams through periods of uncertainty and change
Have a positive attitude and put the customer and excellent social housing provision at the heart of everything you do
Importantly, you will form part of a very supportive, experienced, and friendly team of housing and change professionals, which works together to help managers and decision-makers across the service advance and adapt and provide the best customer-focused service possible.
Now is a really exciting time to join our team as we move into a new era of social housing provision, governed by the Regulator of Social Housing. If you would like to help shape that era, please apply.
