Job description

Home Based, covering the West Region

Do you want to help build affordable, quality homes for those who need it most and build your career at the same time?

Are you interested in starting a career in affordable housing development or looking for a new challenge?

If this sounds like you, keep reading.

At Stonewater, we have some of the most significant growth targets in the sector and are looking for a Project Officer to support our development programme.

We understand how desperately these new homes are needed. Our second strategic partnership with Guinness and Homes England has secured a further £250m to build 4,180 additional affordable homes by 2029, providing us with long-term security to focus on building quality homes for those who need them most. We have built a strong platform to deliver our goals, making this a fantastic time for new colleagues to join our organisation and be part of our next phase. Our targets are ambitious and position us as one of the biggest developing Housing Associations in the country, with a groundbreaking approach to environmental standards. But it’s not just about numbers; our staff truly live our values and are able to bring their whole selves to work every day. Putting customers at the heart of everything we do and working in a collaborative, proactive, and solution-focused way makes our colleagues our biggest asset.

If this sounds like an organisation and team you want to be part of, we want to hear from you.

Although this is a home-based role, it will involve some occasional travel to development sites. Therefore, we ask that you are located within the region and are flexible to travel within your local area.

The Ideal Candidate Will

• Have an interest in or knowledge of housing, especially affordable housing.
• Be confident, independent, and proactive in your approach to work and relationships with colleagues.
• Have a customer-focused approach.
• Possess excellent administrative and problem-solving skills.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a keen eye for detail.

Appointment to this role will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service check, references, and possession of a valid Right to Work document.
