HSPG’s mission is to put a roof over the heads of the people who need it most.
Having somewhere to call home is one of our most important basic human needs. The housing shortage presents one of the biggest social crises in the UK. We’re here to create thousands of homes to alleviate that.
HSPG is a social impact real estate company: building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities. At the heart of our Living Sector platform is PPHA , the Group’s For Profit Registered Provider: co-owned in a Joint Venture by HSPG and global investment firm Sixth Street. We are backed by over £1bn, made up of equity and debt. As one of Homes England’s Strategic Partners, we have an additional £150m to deploy. We deliver Section 106 and grant-funded Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes at scale.
We can only scale at our desired pace through innovation. We are living through one of the most significant technology shifts in history, and we plan to drive our growth through tech-first, AI-enabled solutions. We expect everyone on the team to look for the tech solution first.
PPHA ’s north star is to create homes for more than 8,000 families and individuals by 2030.

OBSESS
These points get you out of bed in the morning and keep you up at night! If you’re not obsessed with these, the role isn’t for you.
Commercial AI: you look for where AI can save us time or increase our capabilities, whether that’s through how we use it or what we build with it.
Curiosity: you ask excellent questions to understand how our tech works, how our systems connect and how each team operates.
Successful implementation: new systems only add value once team members adopt them, so you don’t count a build or system as a success until the people around you understand it, use it and are as excited about it as you are.
