Social Value
We want to create a better future where all can thrive, and support people who face barriers to work. Join our team and help us create genuine change.
DEVELOP A THRIVING CAREER
Join our family…
Social value runs through everything that we do at Wates. It’s a way to make sure that we have a positive impact. As such, it affects all our decisions as a business. You’ll be joining a growing team, in a thriving family firm, where the emphasis on social value is increasing every day.
Social value and environmental teams both support sustainability and work closely together,. Social value professionals focus on how we can support people to gain skills and work experience and engage with schools and community groups.
There are lots of jobs within our Social Value team, from trainee through to Head of Social Value, and Director of Sustainability. Key roles include Social Value Advisor, Social Value Manager, and Regional Social Value Manager. We also offer a level 4 apprenticeship in corporate responsibility and sustainability.
When you join our family, you’ll also have access to a range of opportunities across the Wates Group. We believe in promoting internally and will give you the training and CPD you need to succeed. You won’t find anywhere better to build your career in social value.
OUR PEOPLE THRIVE
About you…
Whether you have sector experience, want a career change, or are returning to work after a break, we’d love to hear from you.
Above all, we want people with the right qualities for our team. You’ll be working with all sorts of different people in society, so you need to be outgoing and open. You’re also a good multitasker. Someone who can manage a blend of upfront delivery and writing, reporting, and project management. A person with a real passion for making a difference.
If you’re coming from outside the sector, useful skills would be project management, organisational skills, teamwork, influencing, and creativity.
