HSPG: A social impact real estate company

Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.

There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.

We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across various tenures.

Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our institutional investment partners.

HSPG aims to positively impact our residents’ lives, while providing long‑term, sustainable returns for our investment partners.

Core Mission

Your core mission is to own the effectiveness of the Senior Leadership Team, ensuring their time and focus align with HSPG’s mission and one‑page business plans. You create order and clarity in a fast‑paced environment, keeping priorities focused and delivering consistent support.

You are the link between leadership and the wider business, anticipating needs, protecting focus and solving problems. You will be calm under pressure, detail oriented, and have excellent communication skills. You will manage complex diaries, provide admin support, organise business travel and key engagements for the SLT.

You will manage the London office, ensuring it runs efficiently by building strong relationships with the internal team and the building management. As part of the operations team, you will be a culture champion and people‑focused, assisting with recruitment admin and onboarding of new starters.

Obsess

• Discretion: you treat every detail, conversation, and decision with confidentiality, integrity and respect.
• Organisation: whether it’s a balanced schedule, office organisation or being three steps ahead!
• Get shit done: you are a problem solver, you tackle issues head‑on, resolving them independently, efficiently and successfully for stakeholders.
• People focused: you understand that team members and external stakeholders all require a different approach, and you are adaptable to their needs.

Excel

• Adaptability: you quickly adjust easily to shifting priorities in an exceptionally fast‑paced environment.
• Reliable: when you say “I’ve got it” you mean it and we don’t need to check it.
• Curiosity: you think beyond the task, and ask good questions to understand what people need.

Specific Experience

Must haves

• 5+ years experience in a PA/EA role
• Experience of supporting 3-4 senior leaders

Nice to haves

• Experience of working alongside another EA/PA
• Office management experience (serviced office setting)
