Around 300 new jobs are being created at North East housing organisation Home Group as it moves into new areas of work.
The firm – which is set to move into a new city centre head office this year - is on the hunt for new staff to support its expansion into new and existing areas in the North East and further afield, with the North East jobs part of a recruitment drive which totals almost 500 across England and Scotland. Areas in which staff are required include healthcare, housing support, maintenance, IT and customer service. The jobs include almost 150 people needed to support the growth of its healthcare and supported living provision in the region.
Home Group said it is investing heavily in order to help tackle the growing number of people who need support with mental health issues, following the impact of Covid.
