Homes NSW is an Agency of the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ). Our vision is for NSW to be a place where everyone has access to safe and secure housing, and where experiences of homelessness are rare, brief, and non-recurring.

We lead work to deliver more quality social housing to our 262,000 tenants across NSW, empowering our tenants to live fulfilling lives and achieve their potential in inclusive communities with a focus on breaking, rather than managing disadvantage.

You'll also contribute to research and analysis to support the development of key projects, focusing on enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery within the Housing Portfolio.

Providing operational advice and communication to stakeholders regarding project status and implementation issues will be essential, along with analysing issues to recommend appropriate solutions within delegation and context. Additionally, you'll assist in preparing various project-related documents, including briefing notes, status updates, reports, budgets, and discussion papers.

Utilising and implementing project management methodologies and processes in all projects will be integral to your role, ensuring successful project outcomes and alignment with organisational objectives.
