Housing association named among top workplaces

For the seventh year in a row, one of the UK’s largest housing associations has been named among the top ten best places to work in the UK.

Home Group placed 9th in the UK’s Best Workplaces, as part of the 2025 Great Places to Work survey.

The 56,000-home housing association, which has around 3,500 staff, and has been named in the top ten since 2018.

Vicki Carruthers, Director of People at Home Group said: “We are very proud to have been named among the top ten places to work once again, our seventh year placing this high in the Great Places to Work survey.

“What makes this accolade even more important is that it comes directly from survey scores from our colleagues. There is no judging panel or submission to decide our Great Place to Work score; it is based on honest feedback from our staff.

“That is why our score is an achievement we should all be very proud of as an organisation, but we also know that we cannot become complacent.

“The reason we have managed to remain in the top ten since 2018 is because we are always looking for new ways to improve, listening and learning from our colleagues.”

The Best Workplaces awards were created by Great Places to Work, with the aim to help businesses create high performing workplaces where employees feel valued and trusted. The award recognises the best super large, large, medium, and small workplaces in the UK.

Home Group were also the highest placed charitable organisation, as well as one of the best performing organisations to have a head office in the North East of England.
