• Overseeing professional advisers (architects, engineers, etc.) commissioned by community groups
• Leading project team meetings, maintaining project plans, and problem-solving
• Contributing to lobbying and sector advocacy alongside national partners
• Keeping pace with policy and legislative changes in affordable housing and community-led development

What we're looking for

Essential:

• At least 5 years' experience in affordable housing development
• A relevant degree (surveying, building, business management or equivalent experience)
• Proven track record in project management and scheme delivery
• Experience working with local authorities, RPs, and community organisations
• Team management experience
• Strong analytical, communication, and negotiation skills

Desirable:

• Experience of rural affordable housing and community-led models e.g. Community Land Trusts (CLTs)

This role is important in collecting impact and case studies as there it has regular direct contact with our Champions and our beneficiaries. There will also be opportunities to keep the whole National Numeracy team and our Board of Trustees informed about our training programme.

We are open to applications from across the UK but a candidate able to easily travel, by rail, would be advantageous.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion 

Quality assurance is central to this role – we want our training to be of a very high standard and constantly improving. The Training Manager is responsible for securing continuing CPD accreditation for our training and for ensuring that our workshops accommodate accessibility needs wherever possible.

We recognise that there is more to do to improve diversity across our organisation and we are actively working to make meaningful, long‑term change.
