We hit the scene in 1975 and have steadily grown to now manage just over 1,200 homes in Sheffield and Rotherham, with a small number of new homes in north Derbyshire. We're all about keeping it simple, doing the right thing, and continuously improving to provide the best service for our customers.

Arches Housing might be small, but we are an organisation that punches above its weight, and we have big ambitions for our communities and colleagues.

It’s an exciting time to join as we focus more of our attention on our rich and diverse communities, truly putting them our customers at the heart of what we do – and we want you to be part of that journey!

Whilst the housing sector has many challenges ahead, including managing the recovery post-COVID, Arches has demonstrated real strength and agility.  We have strong financial performance and we have exciting opportunities for development and growth. 

We continue to invest in business development and improvement, and we think this sets us apart from our peers.  We have an appetite to do more and we are looking for colleagues to join the business and help us drive that vision forward.
