We deliver housing services on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC), supporting them to deliver their housing strategy and ambitious development programme.

We believe that everyone deserves a safe, high-quality home that meets their needs.

We understand that demand for affordable housing, locally and nationally, significantly outstrips supply and the impact this has on individuals and families.

We are therefore committed to building as many new homes as possible, developing innovative solutions and maximising partnerships to positively impact the communities we work in.

We pride ourselves on the culture we've created, which is open, transparent, supportive and community spirited.

With excellent learning and development opportunities, flexible working arrangements and a fantastic team; NPH is a great place to work.

This exciting new role will lead and manage NPH's design and planning function and will work with both our inhouse and external design and quality functions.

You will assist in the development of new affordable housing opportunities and regeneration schemes, and will be the lead contact with Planning, Building Control, Highways, and the Environment Agency.


We are looking for:
Someone with a relevant degree level qualification in Architectural Design

  • Experience of leading and managing project teams
  • Good knowledge of the development process from inception through to completion, including relevant legislations and regulations, and national and local planning policy requirements.
  • Someone who is skilled in writing design briefs, as well as appointing and contract managing design consultants across the relevant design disciplines.
  • Handson experience of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) particularly for residential projects, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and project management systems such as Pro-Val, Sequel or similar.


This role offers a fantastic opportunity to further your career and experience working for an Arms-Length Management Organisation which is considered a key development partner for West Northamptonshire Council.

If you are passionate about raising NPH's profile and making a meaningful and significant contribution to the provision of much-needed safe, quality, and affordable housing across West Northamptonshire, then you may be who we're looking for.

In return, we offer a range of benefits to employees, including:
