Day to day, depending on your chosen profession you could be acquiring or disposing of land, providing investment for infrastructure or working collaboratively with our partner organisations.

From day one, you will have ownership and responsibility for your own projects / work.

You will be supported by your placement manager; have a buddy and you will be empowered to take ownership of your own learning and development including having access to a coach or mentor.

Towards the end of the programme, we will support you to obtain a role aligned to your career aspirations and organisational needs.

A bit about the role
:

The Investments programme is intended for someone with an interest in finance, banking or real estate investment, management and valuation.

Whilst a degree in any of these areas would be desirable, it is not essential as it is just as important that the successful graduate demonstrates our organisational values and has the aptitude to learn and build an understanding of our business functions.

With around 300 colleagues in the Directorate including financiers, surveyors, housing specialists, property experts, accountants, real estate professionals, lawyers and business management professionals; our range of experience, skills and backgrounds will provide an ideal environment for someone keen to learn about how Homes England delivers its broad range of investment activities to support housing and regeneration across England.

As part of your time on the Investments Programme you will learn about each of the five areas of the investments function and will build a working knowledge of grant funding, lending, debt and equity investments, loan, grant and equity, programme delivery and portfolio management.

You will also work collaboratively with teams outside of Investments that provide enabling and corporate support and will help to provide broader context to the function and the Agency's purpose.

At the end of the 2-year placement, you can expect to have worked with some of the most experienced and talented professionals in the industry and developed a broad skillset that will prepare you for an exciting and rewarding career in the finance and housing sector.

A bit about you:

We are looking for the next generation of housing professionals.

You will be an innovator who will bring fresh ideas, be commercially minded, a problem solver and a strong relationship builder.

You will strive for excellence, embrace change and be curious about future possibilities.

You will be motivated to make a difference and share and be passionate about our vision to effectively drive regeneration and housing delivery to create high-quality and home and thriving places.

You'll be pro-active about your own development.
