Connect Housing Association is a community benefit society providing over 3,000 homes across West Yorkshire for a variety of different types of households.
We are looking for a Development Manager who is passionate about good design and whole house affordability, and who will enjoy the variety that our mixed development programme provides.
The successful candidate will relish the freedom and autonomy to shape Connect’s future developments working closely with the Director of Home. If you’re all about making the deals and delivering the numbers, then this is not the job for you. If on the other hand, you’re excited by creating top quality housing for a variety of client groups, which people will be proud to show off to their friends and colleagues, then we would love to hear from you.
Maybe you are a Development Manager looking for a change of scene or you are experienced in the operational side of Development and are looking to step into a management role. Either way Connect could be for you.
Demand for affordable homes is increasing and Connect are committed to doing all we can to build more high quality truly affordable homes. Our new Development Manager will lead on the delivery on Connect’s new growth strategy which seeks to deliver at least 800 new homes over the next 10 years. That plan, together with our focus on quality design and innovation, and the variety of new housing to be delivered will appeal to those ambitious to accelerate their career in development.
We offer a supportive and engaging environment where you’ll have the opportunity to work on a range of exciting development projects. You will be encouraged to share your ideas, challenge yourself and realise your full potential.
In choosing Connect you will be joining a friendly team, who look out for each other. As a company we offer a great range of benefits and we love to see people who are committed and engaged flourish. We are committed to building our people so they can achieve their potential so there will be a range of development opportunities for talented candidates.
