Are you looking to join a growing, values-led organisation with a clear social purpose?

At SettleParadigm, we’re proud to be the largest housing group in the region, managing over 30,000 homes across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire.

Everything we do is about delivering excellent services, high quality homes, neighbourhoods we can be proud of and maximising number of new affordable homes we build. Through our merger we’ve brought together shared values, skills and ambition, so we can build more affordable homes and make an even bigger difference in the communities we serve

If you're ready to grow your career in a supportive, inclusive environment while helping to shape stronger communities, we’d love to welcome you on our journey. Together, we’re building a better future.

If you’re a creative, proactive communicator who loves turning complex information into clear, engaging content, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact for our residents.

About the Role

We’re looking for a talented and motivated Communications Officer to help shape how residents experience and engage with SettleParadigm. As a key member of our Communications team, you’ll take ownership of high‑profile resident communication channels and play a central role in ensuring residents feel informed, listened to and connected to the services that matter most to them.

A major focus of the role will be leading the delivery and ongoing development of our monthly resident newsletter; creating accessible, engaging content that brings important updates, services and stories to life. You’ll also support the development of our new resident‑facing website, helping to improve digital journeys and make information easier to find and understand.

This is a varied, fast‑paced role where you’ll manage your own workload, lead communication initiatives from planning to delivery, and use insight, analytics and best practice to continuously improve how we communicate with residents.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop multi‑channel communication plans for service improvements and organisational initiatives
Translate complex information into clear, plain‑English content
Lead resident‑facing communications including service updates, consultations and performance information
Produce key publications including the Annual Report to Residents
Act as a trusted communications advisor to colleagues across the organisation

What We’re Looking For

You’re a confident communicator with excellent writing skills, strong digital capability and a passion for creating content that makes a difference. You’re organised, curious and able to manage multiple priorities while keeping residents at the heart of everything you do.

Must haves:

At least three years’ experience in a communications or PR role
Experience using digital platforms, including websites and intranets
Experience delivering multi‑channel communications and campaigns
Proven ability to manage complex communications projects from planning to evaluation
Experience using insight, analytics and engagement data to shape communications
Experience supporting sensitive or high‑profile communications
Ability to produce digital and visual content (e.g., Canva, InDesign, Photoshop/Lightroom)
Outstanding written, verbal and presentation skills
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
Ability to manage confidential or sensitive information with integrity
Strong relationship‑building skills across all levels
Communications, journalism or marketing degree, or equivalent experience

Nice to haves:

Understanding of the housing sector and regulatory requirements
Membership of IPR/IoIC/CIPR or equivalent
