Portus Supported Housing is entering an exciting new chapter following the successful merger of Bespoke Supportive Tenancies (BeST) and Westmoreland Supported Housing. Bringing together two established organisations with shared values and purpose has been a significant journey of change and transformation. Now emerging from that transition with a clear identity and renewed ambition, Portus manages 2,340 homes across England and Wales, united by one purpose: Safe Spaces for Independent Living.

As Portus looks to the future, appointing the right people will be key to building on this positive momentum and shaping the next stage of its journey. This is an exciting time to join the organisation at a pivotal time – helping to embed positive change, strengthen its culture and ensure Portus continues to provide safe, stable homes where people can live with confidence, dignity and independence.

Working for Portus Property Management (Portus’s inhouse maintenance company), we are looking to recruit to the role of Senior Finance Officer.
