Vantaggi
I haven't met a single person here who I even mildly dislike - there's a real sense of camaraderie at Silva: everyone has a great sense of humour and even the exec board members are approachable! Silva Homes is a housing association that has set its sights high. We're aiming to modernise to the extent that by the end of 2021, our customers get a much better service AND colleagues can focus on doing more skilled and important work (e.g. no more hand printing and delivering thousands of letters to customers). It's a genuinely exciting time to work here, and there's a real sense that every individual can make a difference. Despite not being in a customer-facing role, I feel like what I'm doing makes a difference - coming from the technology sector, Silva Homes is like a breath of fresh air. Our personal hours/demands are respected and flexi-time and home-working are popular options.
Svantaggi
Situated in quite an industrial area - there are a few cafés nearby and a great greasy spoons, but not much else. There is a lovely pond nearby though!
