Job Description

Choosing to work at Stef & Philips is about more than just having a job.

This people-centred ethos is reflected in our company culture; we prioritise wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity for all.

Our journey so far

Since first opening our doors in 2006, Stef & Philips has evolved from a traditional estate agency into a leading provider of UK wide social housing and services funded through private investment.

Today we have c.4000 units under management housing more than 9,500 tenants and service over 200 investors and 60+ local authorities.



We work with private and corporate investors who want their funds to have a positive social impact and handle every step of the journey from sourcing the right properties, to remodelling and refurbishing them to our high standards and then fully managing and maintaining them throughout their lease term. We pride ourselves that the local authorities, charities and housing associations who place singles, couples and families into our accommodation can rely on consistent quality, care and support. Our accommodation includes HMO's, flats and houses and our care reaches beyond bricks and mortar, to include specialised accommodation and services for mothers and babies, tenants with disabilities, and young adults living on their own for the first time.
