The Vacancy
Connect with delivering homes
Who we are
Hello. We’re RHP. If you want to make a difference, we’re the place for you. We provide people with a place they’re proud to call home, along with modern services that make lives easier. We currently own and manage around 10,000 homes across London for social rent and shared ownership and have plans to build many more over the next five years.
Our employees love working for us and we’ve been recognised as an excellent employer through several prestigious awards, ranking in the top ten of the Great Place to Work list twice over the past five years and achieving Investors in People Platinum status for the second time in 2021.
Connecting through difference
We strive to be a truly inclusive workplace and It’s important to us that you feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who you are, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes you who you are.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for an experienced leader to guide our development team as we work towards our ambition to grow our business, delivering 1,500 homes over the next ten years.
Using your knowledge, technical expertise and enthusiasm, you’ll inspire and help our people to deliver exceptional performance, building homes that our customers can be proud of. You’ll oversee a diverse portfolio of high-value projects from concept to completion, meeting the needs of a diverse range of customers using innovative techniques that help us stand out from the crowd.
As an experienced leader of a development team (or function), you’ll have built brilliant relationships with local authorities, developers, contractors and consultants and the ability to engage others across the business. Your commercial acumen and regeneration experience will help us deliver our development strategy, striding forward with our landmark regeneration project in Ham and meeting our ambitions around factory-built homes.
You'll manage in the present, but have a keen eye on the future, leading the way as we design and deliver high quality, energy efficient homes that are fit for the future. As part of the leadership team, you’ll live and breathe our behaviours and values, working collaboratively across the business to drive stellar performance and engagement.
We’re committed to hiring truly inclusive leaders who encourage people to be themselves, embracing difference and celebrating the unique perspective that every individual brings.
When we're hiring, we look for people who share our values:

The Company
Our aim is to provide people with a place they’re proud to call home, along with services that make lives easier.
We currently own or manage around 10,000 good quality, affordable homes to meet the needs of people who cannot otherwise afford to live locally across west London. These include homes for social rent and shared ownership.
We plan to impact even more people, with the aim to build nearly 700 more homes by 2023.
We were formed in 2000, and over the years have gradually extended our reach. Today we’re proud to operate across the boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow, Kingston, Ealing, and Hillingdon.
For the past twenty years, we’ve been passionate about providing excellent service and our vision has remained the same: to be one of the best service providers in the UK and an excellent employer.
Our employees love working for us and we’ve been recognised as an excellent employer through several prestigious awards, ranking in the top ten of the Great Place to Work list twice over the past five years and achieving Investors in People Platinum status.
Perks of the Job
Our aim is to be an excellent employer and create a healthy work environment so you can be the best version of yourself. Our flexible Life Matters benefits package has been designed around the things our people value most to give you choice around what you need to live well at work, rest, and play – you’ll have access to all these benefits during your time with us.
Life Matters has six main elements:
Mind Champions are RHP Group employees who’ve been trained to recognise the signs of mental health problems in the workplace, guide you towards professional help, and support you through difficult moments.
Our Engagement Champions Group (ECG) is the heartbeat of the organisation and the voice of our employees. They welcome your views about working at RHP so they can share information, take ideas forward and make changes across the business.
Togetherall is a confidential online portal that offers 24/7 mental health support. So if you’re struggling to cope, you don’t have to do it alone. Togetherall offers a safe, and anonymous community to connect from anywhere, at any time.
Your Simplyhealth membership offers you access to up to six structured counseling sessions with an experienced counselor if it’s more formal support you need.
Our buddy scheme is another support option. It matches employees up so they can keep in touch with one another and check-in for a chat. You might feel you’d benefit from having a regular chat with someone from another team - either to check you’re both doing OK or to get a different perspective on a specific work or home issue.
Once you’ve been with us for six months, we pay for Level 5 cover with Simplyhealth. This helps you to claim money back on the cost of everyday healthcare, like eye tests, trips to the dentist and physiotherapy. You can also choose to top up your membership the Level 6 (currently the highest level available).
The health of our employees is important, so we offer free flu jabs to all employees and Hepatitis B jabs to caretakers and first aiders.
We offer bike loans through the government scheme (Cyclescheme). You’ll get tax-free, National Insurance free and interest-free help with the cost of buying a bike and equipment.
Work should be something you do, not somewhere you go, so our flexible working approach is all about doing Your Work Your Way so you can be the best version of yourself, get the best out of life and achieve a great outcome for our customers. Flexible working isn’t just home working: it includes flexing your hours to suit you, breaking up your hours throughout the day, working remotely from another location, and buying and selling holidays.
Giving back to the community is important to our people. Most companies only allow one day a year for volunteering activities, but at RHP employees who work more than 18 hours a week can have up to two days.
Our social purpose is strong, and our employees value the opportunity to give back to the local community, so having a nominated charity is important. All our fundraising efforts are currently for The Vineyard Community Centre in Richmond.
We offer 29 days’ annual leave and paid leave for eight bank holidays from 1 April to 31 March. For part-time workers, your holiday and bank holiday entitlement is pro-rata. For the times when you have something special planned or need a little extra in your bank account, you can buy or sell your holiday.
Fancy an easy pay rise? Start a pension and there you have it! Pensions can be confusing, but the truth is, they’re just a tax-free pot of cash you and RHP pay into, as a way of saving for retirement. We currently have two pension schemes – a Defined Benefit (DB) scheme and a Defined Contribution (DC) one. If you meet the criteria you’ll automatically be enrolled in our DC pension scheme. You contribute 3% and we’re committed to matching and doubling that, from 6% up to a maximum of 11.3%.
We’re committed to reviewing salaries every year. And we’re a London Living Wage employer, which means we’re voluntarily taking a stand to make sure your payment covers the cost of important stuff – like rent and food bills.
We know there may be times where you need to make big purchases upfront and could do with some help. That’s why we have a choice of four interest-free loans that you pay back over a 12-month period: for help with paying for a digital device, season ticket, tenancy deposit, or fertility treatment.
Most of us have some form of personal finance outstanding, like credit cards, and often we may be paying high-interest rates. Salary Finance offers you a way to pay off your debts quicker, at a lower cost, and boost your savings.
We offer maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave to help you make time for the people that matter most.
We offer extra paid leave to support you with moving to a new house, caring for someone, getting married, becoming a grandparent, or dealing with bereavement.
We offer an interest-free fertility loan for any employee who is going through fertility treatment, as we know the financial impact it can have.
Showing appreciation for all things – big and small – goes a long way. It’s only polite after all. But it’s powerful too.
