Sanctuary is a housing and care provider. We were set up over 50 years ago to deliver housing and care to those who need it, and that original purpose still guides us today. Throughout our history, acquisitions, mergers and development have enabled Sanctuary to grow into one of the largest not-for-profit housing associations in the UK.

Sanctuary is responsible for managing in excess of 100,000 homes throughout England and Scotland and employs over 13,000 people who share the Group’s values – qu...

Sanctuary is a housing and care provider. We were set up over 50 years ago to deliver housing and care to those who need it, and that original purpose still guides us today. Throughout our history, acquisitions, mergers and development have enabled Sanctuary to grow into one of the largest not-for-profit housing associations in the UK.

Sanctuary is responsible for managing in excess of 100,000 homes throughout England and Scotland and employs over 13,000 people who share the Group’s values – quality, sustainability, ambition, diversity and integrity.

We are committed to building more social housing and believe it is critical to creating a housing market that functions for everyone. This will include a range of tenures to support more people into home ownership, as well as helping to meet the need for additional rented homes.

As well as generating revenue through development, we have several other commercial business streams including over 100 care homes managed by Sanctuary Care, specialist and supported housing through Sanctuary Supported Living, our Sanctuary Students university accommodation and a telecare service called Sanctuary365. These business streams provide us with a surplus that helps us meet our charitable objectives and are at the core of why we exist: to ensure no-one is homeless and that everyone receives the care they need.

I enjoy working for Sanctuary
I work with a great team and have very supportive management. Everyone has a great work ethic, resident based and genuinely care. We support our clients and each other. It’s hard work and yes, we are understaffed but they are trying to recruit and do weed out any inappropriate staff. I am proud to work for them

Line working after one weeks of working at scheme.
I had 30 customers that needed 5 hrs of support a week. I only worked 35.5hrs a week. Shocking management of probation and job progression as I was not helped or sat down with enough time to be fully integrated into the workforce.
