Business Change Analyst (9-12m Parental Leave FTC)

Love solving problems and making things work better? Passionate about driving change and sparking innovation?

Join Paradigm Housing Group as a Business Change Analyst and be the mastermind behind transforming how we work and deliver for our customers!

This exciting role is a 9-12 month Parental Leave FTC, offering a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact and contribute to meaningful change during a key period for our organisation.

About the Role

As a Business Change Analyst, you'll be at the heart of identifying, planning, and delivering impactful change initiatives across our projects and programme portfolio. You'll combine your expertise in business analysis and change management to ensure seamless transitions in processes, systems, and organisational culture.

Key focus areas include:

• Challenging current ways of working to achieve better outcomes for our customers.
• Supporting business case development to initiate strategic projects.
• Streamlining processes using technology and digital tools.
• Leading workshops, training sessions, and stakeholder engagement to ensure successful adoption of change.
• Monitoring and evaluating the impact of changes to ensure they deliver measurable benefits.

This is an exciting opportunity to work across all departments/directorates, championing innovation and continuous improvement aligned to our corporate goals and strategy.

What You'll Be Doing

• Analysing business processes, systems, and structures to identify areas for improvement.
• Collaborating with teams to agree on business and technical requirements using prioritisation methods like MoSCoW.
• Developing change management strategies that maximise adoption and minimise resistance.
• Producing process maps, use cases, and business models to support change initiatives.
• Acting as a liaison between business teams, IT teams, and external suppliers.
• Supporting testing, implementation, and post-go-live phases of projects.
• Measuring and reporting the success of change initiatives while ensuring continuous improvement.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone with:

• Proven experience in business analysis and managing organisational change initiatives.
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• The ability to work collaboratively across teams, influencing stakeholders at all levels.
• Proficiency in process mapping tools and business analysis techniques.
• A proactive, adaptable approach, with the ability to manage ambiguity and multiple priorities.

If you're qualified in business analysis or change management (e.g., CBAP, BCS, PROSCI), that's a bonus - but your experience, strategic thinking, and customer-focused mindset matter most.

Where could this role take you?

Whilst this is not currently a permanent role, in a business our size and with the transformation we are going through, there is a possibility that this could either be extended, made permanent or other opportunities may arise. Many of our talented colleagues started at Paradigm as temporary/interim and have gone on to forge successful careers with us. However, if something longer term doesn't materialise, you will still gain valuable experience which will add to your employability in this and similar fields.
