Have you got what we are looking for?

Foundations is the national body for Home Improvement Agency (HIA) and Handyperson Services  and is delivered on behalf of DCLG by the CEL Group.

Nearly 90% of local authorities across England have a recognised HIA provision.

Taken together, HIAs handle around 240,000 enquiries a year from vulnerable individuals (or their families/carers) largely concerning the opportunities to sustain independent living in their own home.

A vacancy has arisen in the leadership team of Foundations to lead on Policy Communications, Impact and Sector Analysis activities.

The role will involve:
- Leading a small but strategically important team in Foundations
- Delivering consistently high levels of customer service to our clients and also our funding department (DCLG) within government
- Applying your skills to understand, interpret and take action on underlying data trends
- High levels of effective communication
- Using your business acumen to maximise the "return" on the resources at your disposal.

Applicants will be expected to demonstrate relevant ability, skills and experience.

If you feel you are up to the challenge presented by this role, we’d like to hear from you!
