A bit about the role

Working in a team with Sarah Parker, Senior Manager Business Development, and the wider Programme Management Team, the Business Support Officer will play a key role in assisting with information management requests, supporting senior leaders, and coordinating corporate activities (such as business planning).

You will be joining a friendly and experienced team, committed to making positive change in delivering the Agency and Government's multi-billion-pound Affordable Homes Programme.

This is an exciting and varied role, requiring collaboration and flexibility. The role will liaise with team members to gather information and coordinate responses across various commissions for internal and external stakeholders. You will also support and organise information management for senior leaders in Affordable Housing, act as a key point of contact for other parts of the Agency, and work with the team to support the Annual Business Planning process.

You will be working closely with all the Affordable Housing sub-teams based across the country. We value strong collaboration, diversity in experience and perspective, with the aim to foster good decision making and problem solving within the team.

A bit about you

The right candidate will be well organised and able to work flexibly across a range of priorities, completing tasks at pace and within set deadlines.

You'll work well in a team and with others in a collaborative and inclusive way and be comfortable in supporting multi-functional teams and projects end-to-end.

You will also have good stakeholder management skills and the ability to condense information into high-quality documents and briefings, with excellent attention to detail.
