Home, a place where you belong

Home Group is searching for dynamic Policy Business Partners to join our Policy team. With responsibility for developing policies that people want to read and that meet the needs of the organisation, regulators, and most importantly our customers, you will report to the Policy Manager.

What you'll do

This role requires an enthusiastic individual with excellent knowledge of housing and/or support policy and practice. In addition to first class writing skills, experience of working in supported housing services or on building safety issues is particularly desirable for these posts.

You will join a friendly and supportive team in a national role, well suited to someone who wants to develop their career within Home Group.

This role is full time but allows flexibility to manage your own diary over the course of the working week.

• Use research and horizon scanning skills to identify areas for improvement in policy and work in partnership with the senior management team to ensure policy reflects relevant regulatory and quality frameworks.
• By supporting business leaders to ensure that policy is effectively implemented, you will support the delivery of first-class services
• As an excellent communicator you will use your skills to design and run consultation events with customers and other stakeholders, as well as supporting business leaders to disseminate policy changes to the wider organisation.
• You will also assess the anticipated impact of policy to ensure that it effectively promotes equality and diversity.
• The successful candidate will be part of a national team. Flexibility is therefore required to travel throughout England and occasionally Scotland, including occasional overnight stays.
• Note: We cannot offer sponsorship for this role due to certificate limits. We do review this regularly.
