Bath-based housing association and house-builder Curo aims to make sure its staff represent the people they support. It is a "strengths-based organisation" and its recruitment policy encourages diversity.

The organisation’s approach to recruitment through its proud Disability Confident status means it receives applications from people who hold amazing skills and might otherwise be deterred from applying. Curo is also working to close the gender pay gap and is promoting opportunities for women in management.

Committed to offering a fair deal, Curo has updated its incentives with a Homes for Good reward; paying up to a 5% bonus to staff who reach or exceed their expected performance levels, and when Curo hits two key performance indicators relating to customer satisfaction and operating margin.

The company strives for constant improvement in its working environment and highlights the importance of staff feedback to new starters. This year it created a new role in its learning and development team focused on employee engagement.

One of the largest landlords in the South-West, the not-for-profit organisation provides homes as well as care and support services for more than 25,000 customers. It manages more than 13,000 homes that range from Grade 1-listed rural buildings to urban housing.

Curo reinvests surpluses from its commercial house-building and lettings businesses into its social purpose, which is to make communities thriving and sustainable places where people want to live.
