Hello and welcome to Muir Group Housing

Founded in 1968, Muir Group is a charitable housing association that provides high quality homes at affordable rents for those in need. Their residents include families, single people, older people and those in need of more specific care and support. From their Chester head office to offices around the country, they manage around 4,500 homes across England's North West, East and West Midlands and parts of the South -And they're still growing.

They also have a highly-specialised subsidiary Friends of Muir Group. Their purpose is to channel funding and resources into projects that improve resident's quality of life and their immediate environment.

In addition to the great working conditions available right across the housing sector, Muir Group goes even further for their people. All staff are fully encouraged to contribute and help shape the association's future by getting involved in new initiatives such as their summer holiday football coaching scheme. Part of a planned programme of community development programmes, local kids were more than happy to forego their usual park kick about for professionally coached training sessions in a proper football stadium. Community development is an important part of the Muir approach. Their work is not just about providing affordable housing for people in need. They believe in creating a real sense of community for everyone.

Which is probably why they were profiled in the 2007/2008 Guide to "The Best Companies to Work for in the UK" as 'one to watch'.
