Job Details

Are you a strategic communications professional who can make internal and external campaigns land? Can you help take employees on a journey of change?  Do you know how to influence the influencers on housing matters ?

If so, we’d like to hear from you because we’ve created an exciting new communications manager role at Yorkshire Housing. This is a full time role based in Leeds on a six month contract.

We own and manage more than 18,000 homes in the region – and we’re on course to bring at least another 3,000 by 2021. That’s a big undertaking but we’ve answered the call to build more much-needed homes of all types. And we provide a host of services to help our customers stay in their homes independently or boost their employment prospects.

Which is why we want a communications manager to help us get the message across to our employees, our customers, local politicians, journalists, partners and anyone with a keen eye on the housing agenda. You’re a leader and you’ll have experience of managing communications in a complex organisation and you’ll have the qualification to back it up. You’ll lead and develop a dedicated communications team that’s up for the challenge.

We want to be even more successful which is why we’ve embarked on our ambitious change programme . We really want to engage our employees during this period of immense change because they are integral to our success.

Interested? Download the job description and criteria for what could be your next great challenge; and click on apply above to submit your CV and covering letter.

The closing date for applications will be Monday 25 March 2019

Interviews will take place on 3 or 4 April.

No agencies please.

Please note if you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager.

Yorkshire Housing is proactively working to implement its equality, diversity and inclusion policy.  We positively welcome and support diversity in our workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Company

We are Yorkshire Housing by name and Yorkshire is our focus. We own and manage nearly 20,000 homes – and are developing thousands more.

Our vision is making it possible to have a place you're proud to call home.

You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. We’re here to make a positive difference in people’s lives. So, as well as owning and managing nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire, we also:  

  • Offer money and tenancy coaching  
  • Help older customers live at home independently  
  • Adapt homes to match the needs of our customers   
  • Carry out repairs and replace items before things go wrong  
  • Provide antisocial behaviour support  
  • Get involved with work in the community  

 

OUR PRIORITIES 

Our five priorities that will help us achieve our vision are:

 

Great Customer Experience 

We’ll listen to customers and use what we know about them to shape our services. Oh, and we’ll provide extra support where it’s needed. 

 

Homes and Places to be Proud of  

We’ll create homes that people want to live in. 

  • Quality  
  • Safety 
  • Affordability 

We’ll also be kind to the planet and aim to be one of the first UK housing associations to stop using gas heating and hot water systems.

 

Growth 

We’ll deliver 8,000 new homes by 2030. They will be energy efficient, sustainable and affordable to live in. We’ll also refresh our Help to Buy and social and affordable rented options. 

We’ll achieve these priorities by focusing on being:  

 

Employer of Choice 

We’ll lead the way and make a name for ourselves as an employer. We’ll give you the right support and tools to succeed, plus a package full of benefits.

 

Strong, Resilient and Innovative Business 

We’ll invest in all the right things, from our ICT to our people. This will make us stronger, helping us to make a difference to our customers and be a business that people want to work for and with.
