Job Introduction
We are recruiting an exciting new role within Warmer Homes London, a new joint endeavour of the GLA and London Councils to accelerate the pace and scale of quality retrofit across the capital.
The Delivery Programme Officer (Retrofit) will be an integral part of multidisciplinary team, initially dedicated to supporting the 27 members of London’s Social Housing Fund (SHF) Wave 3 Strategic Partnership to deliver retrofit measures across social housing in the capital at an unprecedented scale.
Role Responsibility
You will be a primary operational contact providing delivery support services to Local Authorities and Housing Associations retrofitting homes in their SHF Wave 3 projects. Whilst the role will initially support the delivery of London’s SHF Wave 3 Strategic Partnership, it will also extend to supporting other pan-London retrofit consortia as they are developed in future.

Strong organisation, and written and verbal communication skills are vital for this role, which will involve close liaison with a wide range of stakeholders.

All applications will be processed using a blind sifting method. This means that personal identifying details will be removed to ensure fair and unbiased shortlisting of applications.
We are committed to equal opportunities and encourage applications from all backgrounds. Reasonable adjustments will be made to support candidates during the recruitment process.
