Job Description
The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) regulates a viable, efficient and well‑governed social housing sector that delivers quality homes and services for current and future tenants. RSH sets standards and carries out robust regulation, taking appropriate action where needed.
With a career at RSH you’ll join an organisation that gives you the opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives, regulating a sector that houses 4 million people across England. Working as part of our Regulatory Engagement Directorate you will manage the delivery of effective regulation of landlords to ensure they are well run and financially viable.
As a Regulatory Engagement Manager (REM) you will play a key part in delivering effective engagement for an assigned portfolio of landlords, supporting colleagues in engaging with landlords, carrying out assessments and inspections of how landlords are delivering against regulatory standards. You will seek evidence on the effectiveness of landlord governance and management of strategic risks and the extent to which they deliver good service outcomes, transparency and accountability to their tenants. Where improvements are required you will design follow‑up interventions and work with the landlord to ensure effective delivery.
Responsibilities
As the successful candidate you will have a sound understanding of the regulator’s role and relevant experience in a housing, governance, assurance, risk management or other comparable regulatory environment. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, experience of managing relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, strong analytical evaluation skills and the ability to exercise sound judgement. You will evaluate how organisations apply principles of good governance and risk management and the risk environment in which registered providers operate. You will work across team boundaries in a collaborative and inclusive manner, maintain a high level of personal organisation and consistently meet deadlines and manage competing priorities across your work.
