DRIVING CHANGE IN SOCIAL HOUSING

Charityworks believes the non-profit sector’s success will depend on talented and committed people using their time and talent in the pursuit of social change. This is particularly true in the case of housing where the UK faces an increasingly strong demand for affordable homes, and where the social housing sector operates with limited resources and must continuously adapt to government policy.

Our graduate trainees working in housing have created an immediate impact, superb return on investment and continue to develop into excellent leaders.
