Help us tackle the housing emergency.

It’s an exciting time to join SFHA’s external affairs team as we look ahead to a seismic election and work towards ending the housing emergency. If you’re passionate about social housing and politics, we want to hear from you.

SFHA is looking for a External Affairs Co-ordinator to support our engagement with politicians and Parliaments, with a key focus on the run-up to the 2026 Holyrood election and building relationships with new MSPs afterwards.
