The National Housing Federation (NHF) is the voice of housing associations in England. We are the trade body to almost 800 housing associations, who have grown from philanthropic roots to provide 2.6 million homes to around 6 million people.
Housing associations are social landlords, and are the largest providers of homes for social rents in the country. We and our members, believe that everyone should be able to live in a great quality home that they can afford.
Many housing associations are also developers in their own right, building around a quarter of new homes every year, and build almost all new social housing. Our sector is not-for-profit, investing its revenues into the people and communities we serve.
If you want your expertise and knowledge of the housing sector to be put to excellent use – driving forward policy solutions and ideas that will help housing associations build many thousands of new homes to aid the UK’s economic and social recovery – then this may be the role for you.
We would like to hear from anyone who understands the importance and role of housing association development and how public and private investment in the sector works. You will need to be able to advocate for the policy solutions that will help housing associations do more and build constructive working relationships with senior government officials, demonstrating your credibility at the highest levels of government and with our members.
As well as leading our work on supply, investment and development, you will also get the opportunity to be involved in the wider work of the policy team and the NHF. This may include issues such as homelessness, welfare reform, supported housing and regeneration.
This is a critical time for the NHF and our members - when the new Affordable Homes Programme is being designed and rolled out – so we are particularly keen to hear from people who are able to start with us as soon as possible.
This post demands strategic nous, strong people skills and the ability to work with colleagues across the organisation and with members to deliver change in a way that is inclusive and impactful.
The NHF has recently published its equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, which was co-created with staff  . We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and we value the contribution each individual makes to our work. The NHF is committed to ensuring our workforce reflects the diversity of the society in which we live and encourage applications from people of all different backgrounds, regardless of all protected characteristics or social background.
We are a disability confident employer and if you are a disabled person who demonstrates you meet the skills and experience we consider essential for the role, we will offer you an interview.

Then come and join St Giles as a Team Leader to join their County Lines team, where you will play a pivotal role on our pioneering project.

About St Giles 

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others. 

County Lines is a phenomenon in which criminal drug dealing operations are expanding their operations outside of the larger cities, taking over drug markets in smaller towns.

This will involve planning and supporting the team’s daily workload, monitoring and reviewing probation periods, conducting annual performance reviews and regular one-to-ones, as well as reviewing ongoing personal development plans.

You will also attend partnership and contract monitoring meetings, ensure that referred clients are assessed with reference to St Giles Trust practices, plus develop and maintain relationships with referral agencies, including the Police, YOT and Children Services. Ensuring that staff produce risk management plans based on assessments and promoting inter-agency collaboration in the assessment and planning process are also key elements of the role. 

What we are looking for:

• The ability to provide support, supervision and coaching to staff, including the capacity to successfully manage personnel and disciplinary issues

• Strong interpersonal, relationship-building and negotiating qualities

• Experience of working with vulnerable young people and adults

• The ability to work with people who have multiple and complex needs

• Experience of setting up and operating systems to monitor and report on work with clients

• Project management experience, including coordinating activity and liaison with a range of stakeholders
