About Us
Habinteg’s mission is to champion inclusion by providing and promoting accessible homes and neighbourhoods that welcome and include everyone, using our expert knowledge to inspire and influence decision-makers.
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 approximately 3200 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.

This role offers the opportunity to work with colleagues at all levels of the business and be at the forefront of developing and implementing risk management arrangements and initiatives to support Habinteg in meeting threats to its success.
About You
You will have a strong commitment to equality and diversity with an understanding of inclusive communication practices.
Excellent time management, attention to detail and a desire to be a facilitator, advisor and support to colleagues are essential. Knowledge of 4Risk and/or Convene (or similar products) would be an advantage.
