The Company
Who we are
Hello. We’re RHP. Our purpose is to provide safe, secure, affordable homes – opening the door to life opportunities. We own and manage around 10,000 homes for social rent and shared ownership, and plan to build many more over the next five years.
We were formed in 2000, and over the years have gradually extended our reach. Today we’re proud to operate across the boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow, Kingston, Ealing, and Hillingdon.
For the past twenty years, we’ve been passionate about providing excellent service and our vision has remained the same: to be one of the best service providers in the UK and an excellent employer.
Our employees love working for us, and we’ve been recognised as an excellent employer through several prestigious awards, achieving Investors in People Platinum status and ranking in the top ten of the Great Place to Work list twice. In 2022 we gained gold accreditation as part of the Mind Workplace Wellbeing Index and were named as Family Friendly Employer of the Year at the Personnel Today Awards.
Connecting through difference
We embrace and understand the value diversity brings – it can only make us better and stronger. That’s why a key part of our culture is to create an environment where everyone can be themselves and is treated fairly and equally. It’s important to us that you feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who you are.
Perks of the Job
Our aim is to be an excellent employer and create a healthy work environment so you can be the best version of yourself. Our flexible Life Matters benefits package has been designed around the things our people value most to give you choice around what you need to live well at work, rest, and play – you’ll have access to all these benefits during your time with us.
Life Matters has six main elements:
Mind Matters Champions are RHP Group employees who’ve been trained to recognise the signs of mental health problems in the workplace, guide you towards professional help, and support you through difficult moments.
Our Engagement Champions Group (ECG) is the heartbeat of the organisation and the voice of our employees. They welcome your views about working at RHP so they can share information, take ideas forward and make changes across the business.
Your Simplyhealth membership offers you access to up to six structured counseling sessions with an experienced counselor if it’s more formal support you need.
From your first day with us, we pay for Level 5 cover with Simplyhealth. This helps you to claim money back on the cost of everyday healthcare, like eye tests, trips to the dentist and physiotherapy. You can also choose to top up your membership the Level 6 (currently the highest level available).
The health of our employees is important, so we offer free flu jabs to all employees and Hepatitis B jabs to caretakers and first aiders.
We offer bike loans through the government scheme (Cyclescheme). You’ll get tax-free, National Insurance free and interest-free help with the cost of buying a bike and equipment.
Work should be something you do, not somewhere you go, so our flexible working approach is all about doing Your Work Your Way so you can be the best version of yourself, get the best out of life and achieve a great outcome for our customers. Flexible working isn’t just home working: it includes flexing your hours to suit you, breaking up your hours throughout the day, working remotely from another location, and buying and selling holidays.
Giving back to the community is important to our people. Most companies only allow one day a year for volunteering activities, but at RHP employees who work more than 18 hours a week can have up to two days.
Our social purpose is strong, and our employees value the opportunity to give back to the local community, so having a nominated charity is important. All our fundraising efforts are currently for The Vineyard Community Centre in Richmond.
We offer 29 days’ annual leave and paid leave for eight bank holidays from 1 April to 31 March. For part-time workers, your holiday and bank holiday entitlement is pro-rata. For the times when you have something special planned or need a little extra in your bank account, you can buy or sell your holiday.
Fancy an easy pay rise? Start a pension and there you have it! Pensions can be confusing, but the truth is, they’re just a tax-free pot of cash you and RHP pay into, as a way of saving for retirement. We have one pension scheme – a Defined Contribution (DC). If you meet the criteria you’ll automatically be enrolled in our DC pension scheme. You contribute 3% and we’re committed to matching and doubling that, from 6% up to a maximum of 11.3%.
We’re committed to reviewing salaries every year. And we’re a London Living Wage employer, which means we’re voluntarily taking a stand to make sure your payment covers the cost of important stuff – like rent and food bills.
We know there may be times where you need to make big purchases upfront and could do with some help. That’s why we have a choice of four interest-free loans that you pay back over a 12-month period: for help with paying for a digital device, season ticket, tenancy deposit, or fertility treatment.
Most of us have some form of personal finance outstanding, like credit cards, and often we may be paying high-interest rates. Salary Finance offers you a way to pay off your debts quicker, at a lower cost, and boost your savings.
We offer maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave to help you make time for the people that matter most.
We offer extra paid leave to support you with moving to a new house, caring for someone, getting married, becoming a grandparent, or dealing with bereavement.
We offer an interest-free fertility loan for any employee who is going through fertility treatment, as we know the financial impact it can have.
Showing appreciation for all things – big and small – goes a long way. It’s only polite after all. But it’s powerful too.
