Social housing provider managing 7,000+ rental and shared-ownership homes across East England
Havebury Homes operates a Microsoft-first tech infrastructure (Azure, SQL Server, C#) typical of mid-market housing associations, but their pain-point list reveals operational friction: server environment performance, tenancy management, anti-social behaviour, and resident complaints. Hiring is accelerating across ops and support roles, suggesting they're scaling to manage growth and resident-facing demand — a pattern common in housing providers expanding stock or improving service capacity.
Havebury Homes is a housing association that owns and manages over 7,000 homes across the east of England, split between traditional rentals and shared-ownership schemes. Beyond property ownership, the organisation builds new homes, maintains existing stock, and provides community investment. The operating model balances landlord responsibilities (maintenance, safety, compliance) with a social remit: resident engagement, accountability, and welfare support. The workforce of 201–500 operates on a hybrid model across operations, support, and health functions.
Primary stack is Microsoft-based: Azure (cloud), SQL Server (database), C# and Visual Basic (development), Windows Server (infrastructure), plus Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and shell scripting (PowerShell, Bash).
Active programmes include retrofit initiatives, resident liaison services, Energy Performance Certificate C assessment, and stock condition surveys — aligned with sustainability targets and compliance requirements.
