employee benefits and culture

working the believe way

You have the freedom to choose where and when you work, to meet the needs of the business. Our roles may involve working out and about on our estates, working from our offices, working remotely, or a mixture of these. It’s about finding what suits you best to get the job done.

innovation

Innovation is important at believe housing. We have our very own Innovation Team, helping people across the organisation bring their ideas to life, to solve real problems and challenges that we face as a business.

Last year, we hosted our first Innovation Academy, bringing together more than 300 colleagues from across the business in a fun and collaborative environment, helping ideas and creativity to flourish. The Innovation Academy resulted in a wealth of great ideas for us to take forward, which we’re working on bringing to life.

learning and development

It’s important to us that we offer our people the opportunity to learn while they work. We have over 100 digital certifications available through our in-house learning management system, covering topics from wellbeing, digital skills, health and safety, personal resilience, and more.

We also offer accredited leadership development programmes including; Level 2 to Level 7 courses in various subjects through Sunderland University, and Level 2 qualifications through the Skills Network online learning. These are just some of the ways we emphasise the importance of our people expanding their skills and knowledge. Courses and professional development can also be put forward by an employee where they’re looking to enhance their skills and can be funded by believe housing to help employees develop within their roles.
