Homes England is launching the National Housing Bank, a government-backed investment platform to accelerate housing delivery across England. With £16bn in capital, it will unlock private investment, support regeneration and accelerate housing delivery across the UK. Joining now offers a rare opportunity to shape a major new national investment platform from the ground up.

- Design and embed NHB’s capital governance, allocation frameworks, and portfolio modelling.
- Monitor capital deployment, returns, stress tests and economic capital limits.
- Provide portfolio-wide insight: performance trends, risk indicators, pricing discipline.
- Lead forecasting, scenario analysis, stress testing, and decision-grade reporting.
- Improve systems, controls and forecasting processes to enhance operational quality.
- Coach and develop team members, building a high-performing fund management culture.
- Work across NHB and Homes England teams — Loans, Equity, Guarantees, Finance, Risk, Operations — to ensure joined-up capital deployment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
