Stonewater, a prominent social housing provider, is passionate about offering affordable homes to those who need them the most. With a portfolio of around 36,000 homes across England and an ambitious house-building programme, Stonewater is dedicated to its mission of creating a place everyone can call home.

Besides housing, Stonewater is deeply committed to the wellbeing of its employees. Initiatives like the Menopause Policy and Guidance and the introduction of ‘Green Days’ provide a supportive environment for all staff. The organisation also prioritises mental health, providing a dedicated wellbeing portal and regular support groups which focus on four key areas: Mind, Munch, Move and Money. This resource also provides support to colleagues by signposting and offering hints and tips on wellbeing and video links to exercise classes.

Stonewater is an inclusive workplace, fostering a sense of community through its Employee Resource Groups and Colleague Communities. The organisation understands the importance of communication and utilises a variety of channels to ensure clarity and cohesion. From monthly Team Talks to informal ‘coffee cup conversations’ with the CEO, Stonewater keeps its workforce informed and engaged.

The company also invests in employee growth and learning, offering a range of development programmes and apprenticeships. All colleagues have access to MyLearning which provides a range of courses, and the organisation further supports employee professional and personal development through CIPD and Project Management qualifications.
