Job Description

Job Introduction

We're on the lookout for a tech-savvy and people focussed Applications Analyst to join our friendly and supportive team.


You'll play a key role in implementing, developing, integrating, and supporting our business information systems. Working alongside another Applications Analyst, you'll report to the Senior Applications Analyst to ensure the smooth operation and continuous improvement of our systems.


We believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go so if you want to work for a company who are truly flexible and where you are valued then this could be the role for you!

What we're all about

You can probably already tell that we're not your typical housing provider! With around 20,000 homes (and more in the pipeline), we're on track with our growth plan to build 8,000 new homes across Yorkshire.


We're dedicated to creating exceptional customer experiences along the way and are on a mission to build a culture that prioritises excellence, innovation, and customer obsession.


Want to know more about your next challenge?

What will you be doing?

In this role, you'll be transitioning new applications, systems, and services into day-to-day support and maintenance. You'll make sure everything runs smoothly, keeping performance and security top-notch, while delivering upgrades, fixes, and product enhancements in a controlled way.


You'll work closely with third-party software suppliers to manage the systems under your care, ensuring that both the operational environment and our Change Portfolio are well-supported. You'll be the go-to expert, guiding smooth transitions and making sure any changes integrate seamlessly into operations.


As part of the Technology, Insight and Change Directorate, you'll collaborate with your team and the wider business to deliver an outstanding experience for both colleagues and customers alike.


You'll also have the opportunity to get involved in some of our ongoing systems projects, which will add some variety and development opportunity to the role.


You'll primarily be based at home, but you will need to be able to travel into Leeds on occasion for team meetings. There will also be a need to do some in person training when you first start with us, but once you're up and running you'll have the flexibility to work wherever suits you best.


Already feel this is the role for you? There's much more useful information you can read in the Role Profile!

Who are we looking for?

The answer is simple - if you are hardworking, driven and ready for a new challenge, we want to hear from you.


The rest would also be great too -

Experience of testing, including creating test plans and recording results Experience of administering and supporting business information systems Ability to provide technical expertise, guidance and assurance to a complex change portfolio Experience undertaking 'BAU' operations, administration, maintenance and support of business information systems Experience of delivering 2nd and 3rd line support Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office products Great communication and interpersonal skills, with an approachable style Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills The ability to self-motivate with strong organisational skills
