Whilst Housing21 provides adequate accommodation for its elderly residents, that it takes stock of its properties, I cannot fault its service in terms of instigating repairs etc, however, its recruitment process is appalling. I recently applied for a Housing Manager role in Sutton, Surrey, where I live. A few months ago, I applied for a similar role in Oxford, a distance of 128 miles from Sutton. I was invited for interview on two separate occasions for that position, but was unable to attend for personal reasons. I have been refused an interview for the local position and the organisation has blatanly ignored my request for an explanation or constructive feedback. Earlier this year I also applied for a board member position, having relevant experience having worked in local government and the civil service for many years, but was refused an interview. One of the sucessful candidates for that role had a background in accounts for a local authority, and had sold his home and ascertained social housing with Housing21, despite having been of very afluent means. It it obvious he was selected for his financial background, when the primary requirement for the role was about having a voice for residents. The appointed person's experience would have been completely detached from the interest of residents.The organisation's recruitment process is unfair, bias and descriminatory.
