We are advertising for an Internal Auditor on behalf of our client the new national housing agency. Recently launched they play a major role in fixing the housing market and enabling delivery of homes that the country needs.

They bring together land, money, expertise, and planning & compulsory purchase powers, with a clear remit to facilitate delivery of sufficient new homes, where they are most needed, to deliver a sustained improvement in affordability. They work locally in individual communities to help meet local priorities.

They invest mostly in building new homes, but also in creating employment floor space and other community facilities, in cities, towns and villages across the country. The homes they fund include affordable homes for rent and sale, and homes for rent or sale at market prices. Their investment helps build around half of all new homes built in England each year. It also helps increase local growth by creating jobs and supporting businesses.

They own public land, which they sell to house builders and others. This is one of the ways in which they overcome barriers to development and help increase the speed with which house builders can build new homes.
