About The Guinness Partnership

The Guinness Partnership is one of England's oldest and largest housing associations, founded in 1890 to improve people's lives and create possibilities for them. It describes itself as a customer service organisation whose social purpose is providing great homes and services, and it counts King Charles III as its Patron. The group's head office is on Euston Road in London, with a major operational base at Bower House in Oldham and regional offices in places such as Crewe, Havant, Frome and Colchester.

Homes and services

Guinness owns or manages more than 70,000 homes and provides housing for around 150,000 residents. Most of its homes are for social or affordable rent at prices well below the private market and on more secure tenancy terms, with shared ownership and outright sale homes also in the mix; profit from sales is reinvested in building more affordable housing. It runs sheltered and independent living schemes for people over 55, purpose-built extra care apartments with 24-hour care on site, and the Sheffield Foyer for young people. Its Housing and Neighbourhoods teams handle tenancy management, anti-social behaviour and community safety, while Guinness Property, its in-house repairs and maintenance arm, employs trades staff across the country.

Where it operates

The organisation works in around 150 local authority areas across England, from Manchester and Liverpool to London, Devon, Cornwall and the south coast, in cities, towns, coastal and rural locations. Current vacancies reflect this spread, with roles advertised in London, Oldham, Crewe, Bristol, Swindon, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Essex, Brighton, Havant and Somerset.
