Be part of real change 

We’re transforming the way housing services are delivered, working across three localities to better meet the needs of our residents. This is your chance to be part of that change – working in a way that’s new, innovative and rooted in the communities we serve.

Balance at Cornwall Housing helps you establish a working environment based on trust and ensures you have the right balance between succeeding in your role and your personal commitments. 

Benefits that matter 

We care about your future and every employee at Cornwall Housing is enrolled in the generous Local Government Pension Scheme. We offer competitive salaries and you have access to Vivup, a platform offering discounts at Tesco, Currys, Asda – helping your money go further. Maybe you want to cycle to work? Or buy more annual leave? We’ve got a scheme for that too.  

A place where you belong 

We’re a family friendly employer and understand that work outside of life matters, whether that is supporting parents, carers or just encouraging a better life balance, we’re here to help you thrive both professionally and personally. 

Join us at Cornwall Housing and be part of the change – where your work has purpose, your ideas matter. Help create safe homes in strong communities for one and all.
