Senior Manager Continuous Improvement

A bit about the role... Working in a team led by our Assistant Director Control Environment, the Continuous Improvement Senior Manager will play a critical role in facilitating the delivery of tangible improvements to processes and ways of working across Homes England. You will be joining our small, newly formed team committed to enhancing continuous improvement culture and making positive change to how our internal and external services are delivered. We have established a continuous improvement framework rooted in the kaizen concept of continual small-scale change, to help us deliver rapid solutions. This is a rare chance to deliver hands on tactical improvements that improve day to day operations, enhancing colleague satisfaction and contributing to the strategic goals of the Agency by improving efficiency and effectiveness.

You’ll be proficient in facilitating discussions and workshops to get to the root cause of a problem, quickly able to understand others’ processes and drivers to come up with impactful solutions. You’ll be comfortable working on multiple improvement initiatives concurrently, through either a lead delivery or support and facilitation role, as well as developing guidance and templates and attending meetings to discuss how CI can enhance operations. Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as an Agency. As an excellent communicator and experienced facilitator you’ll understand how to manage colleagues, drive work through to completion and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
