Have a question?
Social housing is a more affordable route than searching for housing on the open market. Social Housing can be rented from housing associations or councils at reduced rents, or it can be part-sold/part-rented as shared ownership.
It exists to help people who can’t afford to rent or buy a home and is usually built with the support of government funding.
A job in Social Housing requires a particular set of skills and knowledge, and it is vital that those working in the sector work to acquire these and to keep them up to date. Depending on what role you want to get into, a qualification may also be necessary.
