About Squared
At Squared we pride ourselves on being more than a great place to work, where everyone feels fairly treated and enjoys their work in a welcoming and friendly environment. We're a not-for-profit housing association that has been providing affordable housing in Luton and South Bedfordshire since 1962. Our services don't stop there.
Our mission is "HOMES SUPPORT OPPORTUNITY" – as well as providing housing for our customers we firmly believe in proactively supporting them to improve their lives. Social Housing is an increasingly scarce resource, much needed but only a small percentage of the population are lucky enough to be able to access it. Squared sees its tenants and residents as individuals who have choices, although at the time they come to us they may not be aware of that. That's why we call them customers. We promote a coaching culture, empowering individuals to make choices about their lives on their journey to improve their day to day and future lives. Perhaps that's where the analogy ends as Squared does not want to retain the same customers for ever. We want them to come to us, benefit from our services and at some future date, move on, in a way that suits the individual customer.
Squared refuses to stand still and our ambition coupled with a compelling strategy is part of the momentum that carries us forward. We want to work with like-minded people who believe in our values and like to get things done.
