The right people, doing the right things
Our success is due to our people and our processes. They are passionate, committed, and care about what we deliver for you and your customers. We take pride in developing our employees and supporting them to achieve their potential.
For us, a sustainable future is about ensuring we continue to develop our people for our future needs and recruiting the right talent. Our aim is to always have the right people, doing the right things at the right time to ensure your residents get the best possible service. Our culture, built around Courage, Care and Respect, makes sure we always deliver not only the job done but, most importantly, done in the right way.
Because, as we are so fond of saying, Every Home Matters.
We encourage job shadowing, secondments between departments for learning and temporary placements to practice new skills. Mentors are also a key part of sponsoring employees’ development journey and identifying and facilitating opportunities.
Growing our own
Key to our strategic plan is developing our own future talent. We promote internally wherever possible and have structured development plans in place to ensure our people are working towards their career aspirations.
Management Trainees
Our trainee programmes are open to people from all backgrounds and offer a wide range of experiences in the business. The scheme is centred around 3 core placements (Operations, Commercial and Business Solutions) and other supporting placements in Finance, IT, HR and Procurement are also incorporated.
Specialist trainee schemes are also available, e.g. Estimating or Quantity Surveying. Currently, we have 15 trainees in the business and some of our trainee journeys can be found on our management trainee overview.
The success of our programme is illustrated by the fact that our Chief Operating Officer, Chris Tredget, started his career as a Management Trainee.
Apprenticeships
We have developed over 300 apprentices to become skilled, competent trades people and ambassadors for the business. We offer apprenticeships in a wide range of disciplines, including carpentry, plumbing, plastering, gas and electrical. Currently, we have 63 apprentices in the business.
Full details can be found on our apprentice overview.
Testimonials

Taking this apprenticeship was the best decision I could’ve made; it’s rewarding to be challenged and to see my skills grow, to learn new things every day, to know I’m breaking stereotypes, and to feel the respect of those around me as they see my hard work and dedication.
