If you require reasonable adjustments, please let us know and we can discuss your requirements for the recruitment process.

Our purpose

Our purpose at Catalyst is to provide 'homes people love'. That means everything from creating and maintaining great homes, to delivering excellent service to customers every day. We offer a wide range of housing solutions and opportunities for our diverse range of customer needs and requirements including, rent, part ownership or purchase. By doing so, we build more than homes - we build communities.

What we're looking for:

• Do you have a strong HR generalist background and solid knowledge of employment law?
