A bit about the role...

Working in the Data Culture and Engagement team, and reporting to Head of Data Culture and Engagement, the Senior Data Business Partner will play a vital role in embedding a data-driven culture across Homes England. You’ll act as a trusted bridge between our Data & Analytics function and business teams, helping turn strategic data ambitions into practical, well-supported activity on the ground.

You’ll be joining a small but growing, committed team that’s passionate about making data more accessible, understood, and actionable. Whether it’s supporting a new data product rollout, engaging stakeholders in data governance, or championing capability needs, this role is central to making sure that colleagues are equipped, confident, and motivated to make better decisions with data.

The team values collaboration, inclusion, and continuous learning  and is committed to creating a team culture where challenge is welcomed, innovation is encouraged, and everyone plays a part in driving Homes England’s data maturity forward.

This is a unique opportunity to shape how we engage the organisation with data. You’ll work closely with colleagues from across our professions, including a variety of data discipline teams, operational teams and senior leaders to understand their needs, advocate for change, and ensure that the impact of data initiatives is recognised and embedded.

With exciting programmes underway across data governance, capability, automation, and innovation, this is a chance to influence meaningful transformation in a national organisation with real social purpose.

A bit about you…

You’ll be experienced in working across teams to deliver data or digital initiatives, and you’ll understand the importance of listening, influencing, and building relationships at all levels. You may have worked in business change, business analysis, or stakeholder engagement roles, and will bring insight into what helps people adopt new ways of working.

You’re comfortable translating between technical and non-technical audiences, and confident in facilitating discussions that uncover real business needs. You’ll be proactive, adaptable, and collaborative, someone who sees the potential of data to make a difference and wants to help others see that too.

You’ll understand the value of strong communication, the role of champions and communities, and how important it is to support teams in using data meaningfully. Above all, you’ll bring energy and enthusiasm for driving positive change and be motivated by the opportunity to shape how Homes England engages with data to deliver its mission.

Who are we? 

Homes England: The Housing and Regeneration Agency

We believe that affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people’s lives. As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, we create thriving new places and transform urban areas, combining the full breadth of our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and get more homes built.

How? We form long-term partnerships that bridge the gap between the public and private sector to meet local needs and aspirations. We use our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed for the people that live there now, and in the future. And we use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting the utmost attention to building safety.

Together with our partners, we’re accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country, as we seek to deliver ever more affordable homes in places people are proud to call home for generations to come.

What we offer... 

As well as a competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are committed to 50/50 hybrid working. We’ll support you, wherever possible, so that you don’t miss out on what matters to you. 

Membership of the Homes and Communities Agency Pension Scheme, which is a contributory defined benefit scheme with the amount you receive on retirement based on your salary and years worked at the Agency.

Internal applicants: please note that if you are successful, the salary you are offered will be in accordance with our pay policy. You can find details on the HR Hub SharePoint site.

If you ever need a bit of extra help, we have a great employee assistance programme, financial wellbeing support and access to many great discounts with leading high street names. 

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future. 

If you are a member of a professional body, we’ll pay for your membership and once you get your digital kit, you’ll be good to go. 

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We work to a 50/50 office/ home based model. Moving back into our office environments has enabled us to utilise our space and time together in the most collaborative way. 

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. 

We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme. 

If your application is shortlisted to interview we will require you to provide proof of your right to work in the UK at this stage.
