Job Summary Role Context NZB Portfolio leads on the Warm Homes Plan, which is this Government’s flagship commitment to upgrade 5m homes this Parliament, bringing down bills and leading the transition away from gas in heating. We are responsible for delivering the buildings sector share within the carbon budgets framework. That means that we need to ensure that every building in the UK is decarbonised by 2050 through the installation of clean heat technology and improving building efficiency. Buildings account for around 30% of UK greenhouse gas emissions. Broadly speaking, we need to move to the situation where the installation of a heat pump or connection to a heat network becomes the default choice for domestic consumers as quickly as possible. There are several policies and incentive schemes that are designed to incentivise consumers to make this choice. Government is also improving consumer information and looking at the role of future regulation in this area. We also oversee several subsidy schemes for low-income households to improve the energy efficiency of their home and make the switch to clean heating. As part of this, we are looking to reform the delivery model for the Plan, to make sure it can lead the transformational change needed. Job Description Job description for Deputy Director, Net Zero Buildings Consumer Green Finance: We are working to develop and deliver the Warm Homes Plan as set out in the Labour manifesto. This included a commitment to offering grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation and other home improvements, such as solar panels, batteries and low carbon heating. Several high street banks offer forms of ‘green finance’ (e.g. discounts on mortgage rates) to homeowners to make energy efficiency improvements to their properties. However, demand for these products is low and not commensurate with the scale of private capital that is needed to fund the transition outlined above. The Warm Homes Plan commits the Government to supporting a wider consumer finance offer for home retrofit and so we need to develop proposals and advice for Ministers and take these through to delivery. We need to understand what role Government should play in supporting the commercial market and how a consumer finance offer could interact with wider policy across the Portfolio, including universal grants for clean heat deployment, grants to low-income households, better consumer information and any regulation on landlords. The post-holder is also responsible for management of historic casework relating to the Green Deal. As Deputy Director, Net Zero Buildings Consumer Green Finance, your responsibilities include: • Lead work for Ministers on a new consumer finance offer for home retrofit across technology types. Ensure that any proposals are complementary to other policies in the Warm Homes Plan, including universal/low-income grants and proposed regulation., • This work must take into account previous experience and on-going casework from the Green Deal. It will involve close working with HMT and others who have responsibility for the wider consumer finance regulatory landscape, as well as consumer standards for retrofit., • Take forward the lead option into delivery, working with the National Wealth Fund and industry, • Lead work on wider policy for how the finance sector could further support home retrofit., • Oversee the Green Homes Finance Accelerator as part of the Net Zero Innovation Programme and ensure that lessons from it are taken into new policy development., • Build and directly lead a growing team of up to 30 FTE, as well as providing wider leadership across the Portfolio. Job description for Deputy Director, Warm Homes Delivery: We are working to develop and deliver the Warm Homes Plan, including the commitment to upgrading 5m homes this Parliament through support for investment in insulation, solar panels, batteries and low-carbon heating. In preparation for the launch of the Warm Homes Plan, we have stood up a project to look at how best to implement the new policies and schemes within the Plan. The project is considering all delivery options given the scale of the ambition that will be core to the Warm Homes Plan. Successful implementation of the Warm Homes Plan will likely include consumer engagement and promotion, advice and information and consumer protection as well as oversight and administration of grants and loans to support the decarbonisation of buildings. The implementation will be working closely with local and strategic authorities, the newly formed Great British Energy, industry and the wider supply chain. As Deputy Director Net Zero Buildings Warm Homes Delivery, your responsibilities include: • Strategy and Scoping, • Working with Ministers to further refine and agree the scope for the new delivery body, working with all impacted organisations., • Owning the strategic and economic cases within the Business Case., • Understanding and advising on the interaction between new and evolving policy contained in the Warm Homes Plan and the emerging operating model for the new delivery body., • Determining the implications for existing partner organisations and DESNZ and how this will progress up to, and after launch of the new body., • Working across DESNZ to further develop our understanding of the role of strategic and local authorities in buildings decarbonisation over this Parliament, notably defining the role of the new delivery body within local partnerships., • Establish critical success factors and business targets for the future organisation., • Leading the legislation required to support the new delivery body. This will require providing leadership throughout the passage of the Bill through Parliament., • Controlling Mind for the business design of the new Operating Model, • Own the high-level business design for the new Operating Model including business objectives and outcomes for the new Board., • Manage changes to the design of the operating model., • Working with partner organisations and DESNZ including Corporate Services to secure agreement to the business design for the new Operating Model., • Direct leadership of team of c.10 people and wider leadership across the Portfolio.
