Could you help tackle London’s housing crisis and increase the impact of our Homes for Londoners teams?
Tackling London’s housing crisis is one of the Mayor’s top priorities. Whilst doing so will be a marathon and not a sprint the first two years have been busy.

The next year is set to be even busier. We are looking for a driven and committed person, with excellent written communication skills to help increase the impact of the work of partners and the Homes for Londoners teams. Working with the Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Property on a daily basis this role will lead and organise communications activities, visits, events and showcases with partner organisations.
We are looking for an excellent problem solver, who is politically aware, with experience of complex event management. You will work with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders and have first class relationship building skills.
