Communities Manager in Nelson

Do you share our passion and commitment to empowering communities to create permanently affordable homes?

Would you welcome the opportunity to join a not-for-profit developer of community-led affordable homes working to ensure that people are no longer priced out of the neighbourhood they grew up in?

Do you have the necessary experience, expertise and tenacity to successfully deliver community-led campaigns?

If the answer to these questions is YES, we would love to hear from you.

Decent, secure, and affordable homes are getting harder to come by, and there is widespread recognition and acceptance that London needs more affordable homes.

What remains is a gulf between those who are attempting to deliver affordable housing and the communities that need these homes.

This is the gap that London CLT successfully bridges, working with local communities to create truly affordable homes that are owned by local people, and which puts Londoners in charge of how their neighbourhoods develop.

Proud to be at the forefront of developments in this space, we were the first to develop and sell homes, starting with our flagship project at St Clement’s in Mile End.

You will be joining London CLT at a particularly exciting time as we enter a period of significant growth.

We have several other projects under development and have the potential to do so much more.
