I’m pleased to be recruiting for a Senior Development Manager (Affordable Housing) to join the Partnerships team at Churchill Living, a respected and fast-growing developer delivering high-quality affordable and mixed-tenure homes.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced development professional to lead the end-to-end delivery of Design & Build projects for registered providers — from agreed terms through planning, detailed design, construction, and handover.
The Role
As Senior Development Manager, you’ll take ownership of:
* Managing affordable and mixed-tenure schemes from pre-contract to completion
* Overseeing design & build processes to ensure quality, compliance, and commercial performance
* Coordinating planning, legal, commercial, procurement, and construction inputs Ensuring schemes meet Section 106, regulatory, and affordable housing standards
* Supporting grant funding processes with Homes England and other partners
* Managing risk, project reporting, KPIs, cashflow awareness, and contract administration
* Building strong relationships with local authorities, registered providers, consultants, and stakeholders
About You
We’d love to speak with candidates who have:
* Experience delivering affordable or Mixed housing schemes
* Strong understanding of viability, appraisals, and D&B delivery
* Working knowledge of planning, building regulations, and grant funding
* Excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills
* A background with a developer, housebuilder, RP, or consultancy Ideally, a relevant professional qualification (MRICS, MCIOB etc.) — not essential
