Housing organisation Bedspace to create 100 jobs across the North

Housing organisation Bedspace has revealed plans to create 100 jobs across the North over the next two years.

The Manchester-headquartered company also has offices in Preston, Liverpool, Leeds, Hull and Sheffield and is looking to create more support workers and senior leadership roles.

Bedspace provides accommodation and support for vulnerable young people in 500 homes across the North and already has 193 staff.

The company was established in 1999 to transform the lives of vulnerable young people, and since then has helped 20,000 service users, providing support for people such as asylum seekers, those with drug addiction or mental illness.

It is set to increase this number and bolster its property portfolio by 40% in the next three years, partnering with landlords in new regions and in turn creating more jobs across the country.

Managing director and co-owner Nick Thornhill said: "At Bedspace we are passionate about transforming lives across the communities that we operate in.

"This is only made possible by our team who strive to exceed expectations every time, so we look forward to continuing to recruit more talented individuals in the coming years.

"This is an exciting time of rapid growth for Bedspace, and with enquiries for specialist housing increasing 25% in the last 12 months, our expansion comes with the ambition of helping even more young people."

Sue Kaveney, director of people and charities, added: "At Bedspace we love what we do, and can’t wait to bring more like-minded people onboard.

"Our current push for new recruits is just one way that we are striving for continuous improvement in everything we do and driving to create a positive difference in communities across the North."
