At LiveWest we share a common mission – a home for everyone - and each of us takes pride in contributing to that.  

Our values underpin the way we work together, and how we provide services to our customers. There is a strong team spirit within LiveWest and we believe that together we deliver. 

We are a large employer in the South West. Almost 1,800 talented people deliver services across a variety of fields. We like to grow our own - attracting and developing a wide pool of talent that exists in the communities we serve. 

About us

If you are keen to learn and share a passion for our mission, LiveWest is the place to launch or develop your career. We understand that progression doesn’t just mean a promotion and that people want different things from their careers. The options for development within LiveWest are diverse and centred around the individual. This can involve mentoring, working towards a professional qualification, or even taking a secondment to expand your knowledge. 

Wellbeing

We recognise that healthy and well-motivated colleagues have a positive impact on the productivity and effectiveness of a business, and we want to support colleagues in looking after their own health and wellbeing.

At LiveWest we organise an annual wellbeing calendar of events and campaigns. These initiatives provide useful information, guidance and resources to support colleagues with their physical, financial and mental wellbeing.

Our Wellbeing champions actively help organise and promote wellbeing and signpost colleagues to appropriate support services. 34 colleagues including our wellbeing champions, colleagues in our people, facilities and housing teams have completed Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to support individuals with their mental health. 

We have signed  the Menopause Workplace Pledge to demonstrate our commitment to supporting colleagues affected by the menopause.

All colleagues get access to our Wellbeing intranet hub to help to support them in keeping on top of their wellbeing. This online page gives free access to bite sized videos and articles in the areas of managing finances, healthy eating, mental health and home workouts.

Volunteering

We support our colleagues in giving back to our communities.  Everyone in our organisation is entitled to four days of volunteering leave.  This can include upgrading facilities in many of our young people’s schemes, to gardening and tree planting. Volunteering is a great way for our colleagues to do something different, work together, and show off a dazzling array of different skills.
