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.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a Development Project Manager to look after a portfolio of development projects and deliver new affordable homes that RHP and our customers can be proud of. Working with your team, local authority partners and other stakeholders, you’ll keep things on track from procurement to completion, scanning the horizon for opportunities to add value to schemes and mitigate risks throughout their lifetime.

You’ll have experience of delivering stellar customer service and managing a diverse portfolio of complex construction projects, including detailed contract negotiations, GLA funding conditions, audit processes and compliance requirements. With exceptional organisational skills, you’ll never miss a deadline and effortlessly juggle several things at once without dropping a thing!  You’ll also have degree level or professional membership of the Chartered Institute of Housing or construction related institute, e.g. RICS, RIBA, RTPI, CIOB, or extensive experience in a construction related project management role.

Interviews will take place on 15 February.

 

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.

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.

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 Matters 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.

From your first day with us, 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 have one pension scheme – a Defined Contribution (DC). 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.

“I started at RHP as a caretaker at Barnes. In July this year, the opportunity came up for a part-time senior caretaker role. I was a supervisor at my other job, so I already had a good idea of what it involved."

Fola

“I joined RHP in November 2014 as a Finance Assistant. I’ve always wanted to progress, however after getting to the final stages of my ACCA exams, I knew I had more knowledge than I needed for my current role and was very eager to apply my new set of skills in a higher role."

John

“I started at RHP back in 2013. My first role was within the repairs team as a repairs scheduler, which involved dealing with all of our customers repairs booking them and taking ownership until completion."

Emily

“I joined RHP in January 2016 as an apprentice in Co-op Homes. I was placed on the maintenance team where I mainly helped deal with customer queries. When I finished my apprenticeship, I decided getting a job in Co-op Homes would be great for my progression."
