The Homes and Communities Agency is a new national Agency charged with delivering the Government’s housing and regeneration agenda.  In order to take advantage of opportunities to deliver its priorities the Agency recognises the importance of professional risk management.

To support the Corporate Risk Manager we are appointing a Risk Management Officer who will work directly with Directorates in risk assessment, management and mitigation and support the corporate centre in tracking progress with risk management activity at all levels, to ensure that it continues to become more embedded within all Agency activities.  The post holder will also participate in a programme of training and facilitation ensuring staff are able to use the risk management processes as a core competency in doing their day jobs.

We are looking for someone with influencing and organisational skills to work face to face with the Agency’s managers and delivery teams.  Strong analytical skills and confident presentation abilities are vital as is experience in risk management within either the public sector or other large and complex organisations.

The post is a vital part of a service which is at the heart of the Agency's ambition to help people to live in homes they can afford in places they want to live.
