Does the housing sector really interest you? We have an opportunity to join us as a full-time Policy Officer.
What you’ll be doing
Your days will be interesting and varied. You’ll be using your research skills to obtain useful insight into how other organisations are adopting policies in respect of housing issues. You’ll then use this research to lead on the review and development of existing and new policies.
You’ll collaborate with key colleagues to understand the needs of the business and you’ll work with customers in consultation on all customer-facing policies.
You will be required to deliver policy review from start to finish, creating well-written reports that are presented to senior leadership teams, governance colleagues, and customer panels.
About you
You will already have experience of working in the housing sector, with an understanding of the housing regulatory environment, ideally with experience of colleague and customer consultation.
You’ll have very good time management skills and being able to meet deadlines will give you great satisfaction. Together with your project management experience, all these skills combined will make you really effective in the role.
You will be able to build great working relationships, influencing others when needed and sharing your knowledge in a way that meets the requirements of the audience.
You’ll have experience of writing and presenting reports for Boards and Committees, which will utilise your excellent written and verbal communications skills.
This role is a hybrid role; you can choose to work from home or the office, it’s entirely up to you. Currently, members of the team meet in the Frome (Somerset) office on a weekly basis and although this won’t be a requirement of the role, you may need to attend an Aster office for training or to participate in a Panel.
What’s in it for me
We invest in our colleagues because we know if they have a better day at work, the service our customers receive will be better. The Aster Offer is our offer to our colleagues to ensure they have a great day at work and includes things like:

We invest in colleagues’ careers and development through our leader and colleague development frameworks.

Volunteering hours available to all colleagues to enable them to give back.
