This is an exciting and rewarding time to join More Homes Division as we plan, develop and manage delivery of the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) across Scotland. Critical to delivery of Ministers targets is the role played by the five Area Teams in the Division.

Each Area Team has responsibility for ensuring that a strategic approach is taken towards the delivery of affordable housing across specific local authority areas, along with implementing and delivering an agreed set of affordable housing supply targets.

This will include helping to shape new ways of working, sharing learning and best practice, and supporting delivery of the Divisions longer-term strategic objectives.

The role will involve working closely with both internal and external stakeholders to deliver the local AHSP, ensuring that strong programme management and monitoring processes are consistently applied. You may also be asked to contribute to wider More Homes divisional work and provide support to other AHSP teams- working flexibly across team boundaries to ensure shared outcomes are achieved.
