Our ideal candidate shares our mutual values and is passionate about working in partnership with colleagues, tenants and communities. At this level, you'll need to be an excellent communicator. You're someone who writes and presents well to a range of audiences, tailoring your approach as required. You speak eloquently and you know how to get to the point. You're a self-starter with bucket loads of initiative and creativity, as well as excellent decision-making abilities. You bring the whole team along with you, you love people, and they love you right back.

They believe people's differences are what make them great and actively seek out multiple approaches and perspectives.

They are committed to the principles of equality and diversity, and we want to be a mutual for everyone. They have been awarded the prestigious Tai Pawb "Quality in Equality and Diversity" accreditation, but know that they still have work to do. People from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities are currently under-represented in their mutual. They actively encourage people from these communities to apply for this and other roles within the organisation. They operate the Rooney rule and guarantee to interview all under-represented people who meet our essential criteria.
