Rural Housing Enabler
Part time: 21 hrs per week. starting salary £26,000 (pro rata).
Fixed Term
until 31st March 2025
At RCCE, we
believe that communities have the power to effect change and one of the most
important areas a rural community can do this is with housing. People often
find themselves priced out of the area where their support network, family or
job is, and our Rural Housing Enabler Service is crucial in helping rural
communities find solutions to this important issue.
RCCE are
delighted that with government funding, we can increase our Rural Housing
Enabler Service, to help build on the excellent work already being done to
bring forward more affordable rural housing in Essex. This often begins with
helping communities identify their local housing needs and then supporting them
to bring forward the schemes they need and want.
This is an
exciting time to join RCCE as we expand our team. You will work with the Senior
Rural Housing Enabler to promote the service across Essex and provide advice
and guidance for parishes, including helping them identify their local housing
needs and support them through the process of bringing forward a development.
You will produce case studies, provide administrative support to our Rural
Housing Advisory Group meetings, and keep up to date with local and national
policy, as well as being involved with training and network events.
To be
successful in the role you need to be versatile, a good communicator, who
enjoys engaging with groups and individuals. Experience of, or ability to
present to parish councils and groups is required, as well being able to
prioritise and problem solve. The capacity to understand policies and manage
and create new partnerships will help you in the role.
If you have a
can-do attitude with an understanding of the challenges that rural communities
face and have a passion for enabling and enthusing people, then we would love
to hear from you.
There will be
some evening and weekend working, but time off in lieu is given for this work.
This post
requires you to have a full driving licence and access to a car.
