Location: Home-based, with periodic travel to London and occasional travel nationally. Fixed term until 30 June 2026 About us The Local Government Association (LGA) is the national membership body for local authorities. We work on behalf of our member councils to support, promote and improve local government. We are a politically led, cross-party organisation that works on behalf of councils to ensure local government has a strong, credible voice with national government. We influence and set the political agenda on the issues that matter to councils to help them deliver local solutions to national problems. We also provide councils with the tools and resources to respond to challenges present and emerging, and support improvement across the sector. We value diversity and encourage applications from all sections of the community to this high-profile role. About the role The LGA has been working with MHCLG to scope a new, fully funded support programme designed to provide capacity and capability support, at no cost, to councils seeking to establish, enhance, or accelerate their council housebuilding programmes. This initiative forms part of the government''s commitment to deliver 1.5 million safe and decent homes during this parliament, supported by a generational increase in social and affordable housebuilding. We''re at the beginning of this exciting journey and will be co-designing this new programme with councils. To make it happen, we''re building a brand new team
