And the benefits of working for us?
We work in an agile way, you can work from home as well as your main place of work, as long as our customers are put first. You'll also have a degree of flexibility, so you can attend the important things in life, we will work with you to be flexible.
We offer a fantastic holiday allowance of 33 days per annum (including statutory holidays) which rises to 38 days after 5 years' service. We can offer you a 35-hour working week, an enhanced 5% employer contribution pension scheme and a recognition scheme with both financial and non-financial rewards such as gift vouchers, early finishes or even a later start.
You may have seen or heard of the exciting news that we have recently joined Sanctuary Housing as a subsidiary. Sanctuary are one of the largest housing associations in the country and like Johnnie Johnson has been in operation for over 50 years and have over 120,000 homes.
We have introduced a condensed 4.5 day working week for colleagues, which means our offices close, and we finish working at 1pm on a Friday. We believe this is a great extension to our already flexible 'My Lifestyle' approach.
This way of working has been endorsed by Sanctuary and will continue until we are fully integrated into their organisation, at which point Sanctuary will review this way of working.
We understand how important having a safe, affordable and comfortable home is, and the difference it can make. We pride ourselves on ensuring our properties support and help people live well and independently for longer. Our mission is to help all our customers to live longer and live better, in a place that they are proud to call home.
