About the Council and the Service
We have exciting plans for changing the face of housing across North Yorkshire. This is an opportunity to work within our new Housing Delivery team at North Yorkshire Council, part of the Housing Delivery and Partnerships Service, which leads on delivering the Council’s housing strategy and ambitions for new housing growth.
Our ambition is to deliver 500 new homes across North Yorkshire over the next 5 years through various models. We are currently developing our Delivery Plan to meet that ambition, and the new team will deliver on key projects to achieve this aim.

You will manage the acquisition and planning process of a range of schemes across differing scales and tenure, liaising with developer partners, agents, and statutory bodies to secure new business opportunities.
Your experience should include managing consultants, monitoring budgets, and leading various stages of new build and regeneration schemes, alongside excellent administration skills. You will also lead projects to deliver new housing for our internal partners such as Health and Adult Services and Children and Young Peoples Services to meet their housing needs.

You will have a passion for delivering high-quality new housing that meets community needs. Significant experience in housing development, project management, and leading project teams is essential.
