Do you want to help build affordable, quality homes for those who need it most and build your career at the same time?
If this sounds like you, keep reading.
At Stonewater, we have some of the most significant growth targets in the sector and we're looking for a Project Officer to help support to drive forward our development programme.
We understand how desperately these new homes are needed and our second strategic partnership with Guinness and Homes England has secured a further A GBP 250m, to build 4,180 additional affordable homes by 2029, giving us the long-term security we need to focus on building quality homes for those who need them most. We've built a strong platform to deliver our goals, making this a fantastic time for new colleagues to join our organisation and be part of our next phase. Our targets are significant and mark us as one of the biggest developing Housing Associations in the country, with a ground-breaking approach to environmental standards, but it's not just numbers. Our staff truly live our values and are able to fully bring their whole selves to work every day. Putting customers at the heart and working in a collaborative, proactive and solution-focussed way makes our colleagues our biggest asset.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
