Great Places is an award-winning organisation with a reputation for delivering pioneeroing homes and services, and we have opportunities for graduate trainees, for the right people. Working with us is your chance to help transform the neighbourhoods that need it most - we're renowned for turning run-down, deprived areas into thriving communities, making them better places to live for generations to come.

You might learn about supported housing and work to help some of the most disadvantaged groups in society, or get involved in our flagship development initiatives, often hailed as beacons of innovation for others to follow.

Our projects, carried out in partnership with other agencies, are exciting and diverse. They're all driven by, and tailored to, what individual communities want and need. We're proud to say we'll go that extra mile, and so will you be.

Great Places is delivering an ambitious programme of regeneration and urban renewal and our multi-award winning group members manage 14,000 homes across the North.
