Welcome to Incommunities

We appreciate that as an organisation, we are only as good as our people. This is why, as an employer, we offer a supportive and challenging environment in which to work.
By investing heavily in our people we are able to offer the very best service possible to all our customers.
And as a Trust that is central to the community we continue to demonstrate our commitment to investing in Bradford’s youth by recruiting new apprentices across all areas of our business.
We also actively encourage applicants for employment from the wider community, enabling us to reflect the diversity of the community we serve.

our vision

• To provide homes of 1st choice
  
• To be an employer of 1st choice
  
• To be partner of 1st choice
  

our values

All employees of Incommunities put the customer 1st and work together for their benefit.

We:

listen to, and respect the views of all individuals and communities in order to understand and respond to their needs and are open, honest, transparent, caring and responsible in all our business dealings.

Our history

At Incommunities we provide affordable, high quality homes in desirable neighbourhoods. We currently manage 22,000 homes, all of which were previously owned by Bradford Council. In addition to providing quality homes we also pride ourselves in offering all our customers with reliable and effective support on all housing related issues.

Bradford Community Housing Trust Group was launched in February 2003 to offer affordable, high quality and desirable housing and neighbourhoods within the Bradford District. Our desire to offer our professional housing services and experiences outside the Bradford district has led to the evolution of BCHT to the new Incommunities brand.

Incommunities as an employer: training & professional development

We take your training, learning and professional development seriously at Incommunities.

We will ensure that all our employees receive the training, learning and professional development to help them do their jobs effectively.

We support our employees to continue developing their skills through appropriate certificated and vocational training (e.g. college courses such as NVQ’s).  We ensure links are made between courses approved and the jobs people do.

What we’re doing

• We are currently developing an externally accredited ‘putting our customers first’  learning academy for all our front line employees.
• We have a comprehensive programme of training for our managers, including leadership, management and the Human Resources Toolkit.
• We are the first in the Country to pilot an e-learning version of the Housing Level II qualification.
• We are developing a comprehensive equality and diversity training programme.
• We are in the process of rolling out e-learning (learning via a computer at a time, place and pace that suits you) across the organisation.
