About the Role
The London Borough of Newham is committed to delivering comfortable, healthy and climate-resilient homes for its residents. As part of this ambition, the Council aims to bring all Council-owned homes up to a minimum of EPC C by 2030 and deliver on the three principles of Newham’s Just Transition Plan: increasing equity, reducing emissions and building future resilience. The Council is also prioritising action on housing issues such as damp, condensation and mould, rising energy costs and fuel poverty.

In 2025, the Council secured £1.5 million through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 (WH:SHF Wave 3) to retrofit 359 homes between 2025 and 2028. This is being delivered through the London Councils’ Strategic Partnership, a consortium of 27 organisations supporting the coordinated delivery of grant-funded retrofit works across London. This funding presents a significant opportunity to improve energy performance, support resident wellbeing and reduce household energy bills in some of the borough’s highest priority homes.

As Warm Homes Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of the Warm Homes programme and represent Newham in the London Councils’ Strategic Partnership Delivery Group East. You will manage the WH:SHF Wave 3 programme within defined time and budget parameters and in line with grant funding conditions. The programme will conclude at the end of the financial year 2027/28.

The role reports to the Head of Retrofit and requires occasional evening, weekend and public holiday work to meet service requirements, including consultation and representational tasks with residents and other stakeholders.

This is a fixed term contract until March 2028.

Experience
Experience in project management, preferably within housing retrofit or related sectors, is desirable. Proven ability to manage complex programmes within time and budget constraints is essential.

About you
You are committed to delivering equity, sustainability and resilience in housing. You have excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to represent the Council in partnership settings. Flexibility to work outside normal hours when required is important.

You share the Council’s commitment to creating an inclusive, anti-racist environment and value diversity in the workplace.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications in project management, housing, environmental sustainability or related fields are desirable but not mandatory. A positive attitude and commitment to the role’s objectives are essential.
