As a charitable housing association it is important that we have strongly embedded principles of integrity.
To do this you will build strong relationships of mutual trust across all parts of NHG. A necessary part of this will be a willingness to have honest conversations.

You will be flexible in working both autonomously and partnering with colleagues to deliver projects. Able to think critically and provide reasoned, logical conclusions you will provide clear communication to others both within and outside NHG.
As part of our team, you will have access to professional qualifications and career opportunities across our Notting Hill Genesis business. You will also receive a generous holiday entitlement of 25 days, rising to 27 days after 2 years of service.

About the Company
Notting Hill Genesis is now one of the largest housing associations in London and the south east. We own and manage more than 67,000 homes and employ around 1,500 staff. We provide homes across a range of tenures and are committed to continuing to deliver housing that is affordable to all. Our roots reach back to the 1960s when our legacy organisations were established by local people who shared a similar vision – to house west London’s working poor, providing them a home from which to build themselves and their families a secure future.
