Who we are

Selwood Housing Group is a not-for-profit housing association committed to providing affordable local homes for our customers. We have nearly 7,000 homes for affordable rent and shared ownership in Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath and North-East Somerset and employ over 300 staff from our offices in Trowbridge and Melksham.

The role

We're a team that's always striving to improve our products and processes. As a Business Analyst, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our services meet the needs of our customers and the wider organisation.

Working alongside our current team of four, you collaborate closely with stakeholders and the solutions development team, to gather requirements, create user stories, and design, test, and deploy business improvements.

This could be anything from small incremental improvements through to large scale Dynamics 365 projects, so there will be plenty of variation and a lot of opportunity to affect real change and implement new technologies.

We value flexibility and many of the team will work remotely during the week. That being said, we also see the value in bumping heads, so we get together in the office at least once a week to share ideas and make sure we are on track.

If you're a problem-solver with a knack for communication and a passion for continuous improvement, we want to hear from you!

• Experience leading user acceptance testing and providing post implementation support
• Proven track record of change management and continuous improvement
• Experience of process re-engineering
• Savvy communicator with exceptional soft skills, including the ability to speak about both technical and business concerns
• Although it is not essential, it would also be hugely beneficial if you had experience within social housing or a local authority.

We offer excellent benefits, including:
