Description
HSPG is a social impact real estate company.
Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.
There is a critical shortage of affordable housing across the UK. We partner with Local Authorities and institutional investors to acquire and manage high-quality, demand-driven homes across multiple tenures.
Across our Living Sector platforms, we are on track to acquire 12,000 homes by 2030. These homes are grouped into portfolios, professionally managed by our team, and funded by long-term institutional capital. We deliver this through two specialist operating platforms: Seahorse and PPHA.
Seahorse acquires, develops and manages homes for homeless residents across England through its Homeless Affordable Rent product, meeting urgent housing need with professionally managed, high-quality accommodation.
North Star: creating over 5,000 homes by 2029.
PPHA, the Group’s Registered Provider, partners with local authorities, housebuilders and investors to deliver Section 106 and grant-funded Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes, expanding supply and creating lasting social value.
North Star: creating homes for over 8,000 families or individuals by 2030.
Together, these platforms enable HSPG to meet housing need at scale, creating meaningful social impact for customers and residents, while delivering sustainable, long-term returns for our partners.
The Essentials
Platform: Group
Status: Full time, permanent.
Salary: £40,000-£50,000
Bonus: TBD
Working arrangement: We typically work 4 days in the office, 1 day from home.
Hours: 37.5 hours per week.
Start: ASAPCORE MISSION
Your core mission is to protect the CEO’s time and thinking bandwidth by owning the detail, follow-up, modelling and exploratory work beneath current and future-facing ideas.
You turn early-stage thinking into structured decisions, fast experiments or clear no-go conclusions, without slowing the wider business down.
This role exists so the CEO can focus on strategy, capital and impact, while nothing slips underneath.
This is a high-trust, high-standards leverage role. Not a yes-person, not a shadow executive, but a force multiplier.
Make it your mission to make it fun.
