We strive to find ways to continuously develop and grow with our tenants and residents needs at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to support the local community and embrace its diversity. Our aim is to empower individuals to make choices about their lives on their journey to lead fulfilled, independent lives, through an innovative approach to tackling local housing needs and homelessness. We don't just give people a key, we offer on-going support to unlock their potential. We don't just give advice; we offer genuine warmth and non-judgmental care. We don't just provide business services; we offer expert consultancy and management. We provide homes for independent living and homes with support in Luton and Central Bedfordshire. To complement this work, we also run a lettings service for private landlords; a social enterprise inspired cleaning and gardening service; and an employee excellence focused HR consultancy - People Excellence. Every day, the people on our team make a difference to our customers. Whether they're working with them directly or supporting behind the scenes they're helping them regain their independence and live more fulfilled lives. As we expand our services, we're also helping other businesses to thrive. This continued positive impact on our customers is extremely important to us and our success, and we can only achieve it by finding the right people to work with us. We look for people who share our ambitious, forward-thinking outlook and supportive, hardworking approach. If you join us, we'll invest in you and continue to nurture your potential to help you achieve great things for you, us and - most importantly - our customers.
