Working at Stonewater

We manage around 31,500 homes in England for over 65,000 customers, including affordable properties for general rent, shared ownership and sale, alongside specialist accommodation such as retirement and supported living schemes for older and vulnerable people, Foyers and women’s refuges.

Our bold house-building programme of 2,800 new homes by 2022 is driven by our vision of everyone having the opportunity to have a place they can call home. We plough our surplus profits into building more homes, improving our existing housing stock and investing in our customer services. We have over 600 employees and our values focus on being ethical, ambitious, passionate, agile and commercial.

With an annual turnover of around £181 million and £1.7 billion in assets, Stonewater is a strong, dynamic and well-managed social business with an A2 Moody’s investor’s credit rating and a top G1/V1 governance and viability ranking from the Regulator of Social Housing.

We have seen some fantastic achievements in the relatively short time since Stonewater was formed in January 2015. This video looks at some of the key milestones achieved by everyone at Stonewater.

Our Corporate brochure and our briefing document on the history of social housing provide further information.

Our Vision 2017 - 2022
Stonewater has ambitious plans and is committed to its vision ‘for everyone to have the opportunity to have a place they call home’.

To help ensure we achieve our Vision we have updated our priorities for 2017-22, which are captured in nine strategic objectives. Our resources are focused on our strategic objectives, which ensures we are all working towards common goals.

Our strategic objectives are set out under three key themes:

Customer Experience

To deliver effective service that meets the diverse needs and aspirations of our customers

Growth and Influence

To build more homes for people in need

Business Excellence

To achieve high performance and value for money in all that we do

These are exciting times at Stonewater. We are at the beginning of a new era and our success depends on attracting great people. We believe that recruiting and retaining the right staff is vital if we are to achieve our mission of offering quality homes and services for people whose needs are not met by the open market.

A career at Stonewater gives you the opportunity to bring your skills to an organisation which embraces change and is open to new ideas.

Our vision is for everyone to have the opportunity to have a place they can call home. This is what drives us. If you want to make a real difference to people's lives and have a stimulating and rewarding career, we would love to hear from you.
