People come to work for Habinteg because they believe in what matters to us. Inclusion drives all that we do, be that the services we offer to tenants, the environments we create or the homes we deliver. One in four people in this country are disabled but most homes are designed to exclude them. We believe in designing homes and creating neighbourhoods that everyone can share and enjoy. We have over 3,300 homes across the country from Tyneside to Cornwall. We are champions of the Lifetime Homes Standard and provide expert training and consultancy through our Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) in-house team.

‘Towards 2026’ is the name of our brand-new four-year strategy that we have just launched at Habinteg.

The Head of Housing will also join our Operational Management Team (OMT) where you will also have oversight and influence of other areas in the business, as well as supporting our Executive Management TEAM (EMT) and Board when required.
