Housing 21 presents itself as a non-profit provider of affordable housing for people over 55, yet it allows its employment practices to contradict these values. The organization recruits for roles ranging from care workers to regional managers, but its online application process allows candidates to upload only a CV, with no option to submit a cover letter or supporting statement. When contacted, Housing 21 confirmed it does not accept such documents.I recently applied for a local housing manager position, confident that I have the relevant skills and experience. I have previously reached the interview stage for this role on three occasions, demonstrating that Housing 21 has already recognized my suitability. However, just two days after submitting my application, I received a curt no-reply rejection email. More concerningly, this rejection was issued four days before the application closing date.This strongly suggests that Housing 21 operates an unfair and potentially discriminatory recruitment process, characterized by an unorthodox and unlawful selection method that appears to allow unconscious bias and age to influence decision-making.
