At St Mungo’s our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.  As a homelessness charity and housing association our clients are at the heart of what we do. We provide a bed and support to more than 2,700 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, and work to end homelessness and rebuild lives.

We’re a forward thinking organisation that thrives upon the ideas, ambitions and diversity of our people. We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Development Manager to join our Strategic Asset Management Team.

We are looking for an innovative and experienced property professional; someone that can lead the small but complex London centric development programme. The programme is diverse and includes major remodelling of existing hostels and move on accommodation, to new build of self-contained accommodation blocks across London, and office and mixed use fit-outs.

Managing property improvement works and new build projects, from identification and option development, through procurement of consultants and contractors, to practical completion; you will build on the foundations of our c. 2800 strong existing portfolio. This will mean managing resources and contracts skilfully, thorough handling of legislative, regulatory and financial aspects of development and regeneration.

Reporting directly to the Director of Strategic Asset Management, you will have the opportunity to grow and achieve significant influence across St Mungo’s. You will work very closely with the Portfolio Management team, Property Services and client facing teams. With a recognised qualification or professional accreditation in property such as RICS and previous project management experience, you will need a detailed understanding of the development process from a commercial and legal perspective with a comprehensive understanding of housing/residential development and management; ideally experience gained from the affordable and supported housing sector.

Above all we are looking for a passionate and innovative individual who embraces variety and the values of St Mungo’s.

In return, we offer a range of benefits including a pension scheme, staff discounts scheme and initiatives to help you maintain a healthy work/life balance. We are also committed to providing our staff with a wide range of learning and development opportunities; in support of their personal and professional development.
