About Network Homes

At Network Homes we believe good homes make everything possible.

We're a charitable housing association managing over 21,000 homes predominantly across London and Hertfordshire. Our mission is to provide safe, secure and affordable homes for as many people as possible. Every penny of profit we make is reinvested to build more homes and deliver better services for residents. Network Homes is a member of the G15 group of London’s largest housing associations.

We believe culture is everything and we work hard to create a positive, can-do, solution focussed environment so our 500+ colleagues can be their best. We have outstanding levels of engagement amongst our people. Our most recent staff survey showed over 90% of our employees feel proud to work for Network Homes, 81% believe that their manager is a great leader and 89% feel supported by them.

We’re dedicated to making sure that our workplace champions equality, diversity and inclusion. We’ve pledged to ensure our organisation reflects the diversity of our residents because we know this strengthens trust and allows us to provide better customer service. Network Homes was a founding partner of Leadership 2025, an initiative to increase the ethnic diversity of housing’s leadership; and we hold Pledge Pioneer status for House Proud, a scheme designed to ensure Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer residents can enjoy their homes without fear of discrimination. We’re also dedicated to the wellbeing of employees with various initiatives and workshops including regular yoga and mindfulness sessions for those who wish to take part. We also have a dedicated group of mental health first aiders.

We support a blended approach to work, from home and in the office. We have a modern head office in Wembley Park, an area which is undergoing on of the most exciting transformations in London with Wembley Stadium, Boxpark and the London Designer Outlet right on the doorstep. Our Hertford office is in a grade II listed art deco building in the centre of town.
