The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the single national housing and regeneration agency for England, with a budget of over £5 billion a year to invest in creating and regenerating thriving communities where people want, and can afford, to live.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your knowledge of Housing, Planning and Design Policies in a key role. Join us, and you’ll assist with regional governance, strategy, information and investment and policy development. You’ll work to ensure our teams and stakeholders take a consistent approach whether working on a local, regional or national basis.

We’ll expect you to support the development of our regional strategies and to work with our area teams in the delivery of the Single Conversations in the South East. You’ll also represent the HCA at meetings with RSLs, Local Authorities, the National Housing Federation and other bodies and Government departments.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills and it will enable you to combine your knowledge of developing policy, research and information with strong relationship building skills. Ideally you should have an awareness of local housing, regeneration and property markets, and the needs of local people.
