Great Yarmouth Borough Council is an ambitious local authority with big plans for the future and massive opportunities ahead. With one of the most successful enterprise zones in the country, Great Yarmouth is England’s offshore energy hub and Norfolk’s biggest seaside resort at the edge of the Broads National Park.  Ensuring there are enough homes of the right size, type and tenure across the borough is key to delivering the Council’s economic growth ambition and ensuring the wellbeing of residents.

The Council is looking for an experienced housing professional to support the Council to deliver its interventions in the housing market directly or through its wholly owned housing companies Equinox Enterprises Ltd and Equinox Property Holdings Ltd.  The Housing Growth Manager will spend 75% of their time identifying, appraising and bringing forward new high-quality housing developments for sale or rent through the two companies.   The remaining 25% of time will support the delivery of the Council’s direct interventions in the housing market and in attracting external funders to invest in the borough.   

The successful Housing Growth Manager is self-motivated, has a track record of successfully delivering projects, understands the commercial drivers of residential property and development, is able to influence and negotiate and is politically astute.

If you are looking for a diverse, exciting role which allows you to build upon your passion for delivering high quality homes whilst working for an ambitious Council which punches above its weight, the Housing Growth Manager role is for you.  

If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role, please contact Nicola Turner, Housing Director on 01493 846516.
