We’re a charitable housing association based in Chelmsford, Essex. We exist to meet local housing need. We own and manage over 11,500 homes and provide services for over 27,000 customers in the eastern region of England.
We have over 300 employees, including teams of specialists and skilled tradespeople, all of whom are committed to providing our customers with a great service and a safe, high-quality home.
We care about the people who live in our homes and their communities. We want to help transform lives, so we go beyond being a housing provider and have services and support available to those who need it.
We work with local and national organisations to provide homes, deliver services and help us operate efficiently as an organisation.
We have ambitious plans to help meet the high demand for social housing and deliver more great services to our customers.
We work with a range of contractors and suppliers. Register your interest in working with us and find out our requirements.
We’re focused on the issues that matter most to the community we serve and we take a bold approach to solving hard-to-fix issues.
We’re open to difference, to challenge, and to new ideas. We encourage diversity, curiosity and inclusive communication.
We’re passionate about what we do and continually strive to listen, learn and improve together.
We’re aware of the impact we have on our environment, our customers and wider community and we’re determined to do the right thing. We’ll balance the sustainability of the organisation with the needs of the community and broader society.
