Why join us?
We offer a salary of £40,880 per annum - for 35 hours per week, 26 days annual leave (rising annually to 31 days) plus Bank Holidays.
We have a flexible approach to work so living in Yorkshire isn’t a requirement of the role (although we’ll expect to see a fair bit of you here!). There will be times when you’ll be delivering and facilitating sessions which start at 0900, so you’ll need to make sure you can be in Leeds with enough time to prep for the day ahead.
We offer a reward package to suit everyone. At YH, you can claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more with our cash plan, make the most of a variety of retail discounts and take advantage of our pension scheme where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.
Our people’s health and wellbeing is one of our top priorities, and you can make the most of our readily available wellbeing support package. This includes access to a library of free fitness classes, as well as an instant My GP service and free counselling sessions with a trained professional.
At Yorkshire Housing, we believe in empowering our colleagues to be their best selves. We offer a supportive and inclusive environment where you can thrive and make a real difference. Plus, we have a lot of fun along the way!
So, now you’re really interested?
At Yorkshire Housing, we’re actively building a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can contribute their best work and be themselves. We believe difference is what makes us stronger and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities we serve, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds for this role.
We know that not all candidates will meet every single desired requirement. If your experience looks a little different from what we've identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you, please go ahead and apply!
If you require any additional support with your application, or have any further questions, please contact our lovely recruitment team via email at recruitment@yorkshirehousing.co.uk.
The fine print
The closing date for applications will be 13th April 2025, but we might close it early if we get lots of fab candidates, so don’t hang around. If you’re applying for this role internally, you’ll need to let your line manager know (it’s the right thing to do!).
1st stage interviews are expected to take place via Teams on 22nd & 23rd April
2nd Stage interviews are expected to take place on 2nd May in Leeds.
