    Business Outlook

    Pros

    It's hard work, you think on your feet a lot of the time, but it's very rewarding. Pay is very good, and the team I work in look out for each other, I really enjoy my job, and I do believe that Housing 21 care about their employees.

    Cons

    It's hard work, you have to accept that working in housing and care services is fast paced and at times exhausting.

    Housing 21’s Extra Care Academy is officially at the halfway point as we approach one year since the industry-first training academy for Care Workers was launched. Care workers enrolled onto the two-year course will receive the training and qualifications required to pursue a career at management level in care. We spoke to Kimberly, who joined the academy to increase her knowledge in care, about her experience and how its helping her progress her career in care.
