2. Company van & fuel card when required
3. Health cash plan membership so you can save money by claiming cash back – over £1000 each year - towards essential healthcare such as dental, optical, physio and loads more. We’ll also cover the costs of including any dependent children in the scheme – up to the age of 21 or 24 if in full time education – that you may have.
4. Access to savings on gym memberships plus cash back and discounts on purchases from major retailers including supermarkets, travel, cinema and more.
5. Generous pension scheme.
6. A number of training and development opportunities
7. All power tools, equipment and workwear provided
About us:
8. We’re all about helping people in need of housing. We believe a good home makes lots of other things possible, so we provide great homes and services that do just that.
9. We’ve built Bernicia to be a business that people want to be a part of. We’re one of the North East’s largest and most successful housing providers; building, renting, selling and managing homes as well as providing services to over 60,000 customers.
10. We operate within a set of simple, but effective values, which blend perfectly to create our unique ‘Bernicia Way’ culture. This ensures we are customer focused, through working together, respecting each other, being accountable for our actions and demonstrating integrity and leadership.
So, if you want to join an organisation that is passionate about people and believes in delivering quality customer service to our tenants, we’d love to hear from you.
