Our purpose at Catalyst is ‘homes people love’. That means everything from creating and maintaining great homes, to delivering excellent service to customers every day. We offer a wide range of housing solutions and opportunities for our diverse range of customer needs and requirements including, rent, part ownership or purchase.

We currently have a great opportunity for a Construction Health & Safety Manager to join us on a permanent basis. We are looking for an individual with a proven track record of managing Health & Safety to ensure our inhouse repairs and maintenance contractor, Connect Property Services, maintains best practice in line with legislation.
