How the story started

Lots of organisations have values nowadays. The difference at Sheffield Homes is that we go out of our way to make them a part of our everyday work. So although we can talk about them here, they’ll probably only start to mean something real when you join us. That’s when you’ll see them in action – and it’s when you’ll see what a difference they make to the lives of our people and tenants.

Our values

  • We’re honest and accountable.
  • We’re approachable, positive and transparent.

  • We deliver services to the community with pride, passion and professionalism.
  • We listen and respond in order to change for the better.
  • We are supportive and give visible leadership.
  • We say what we mean and do what we say.
