Who are we?

Moat are one of the top 30 housing associations in England, with homes spread across London, Kent, Essex and Sussex.

Our financial strength puts us in a good position to rise to challenges and plan for the future.

We have just released our new corporate strategy, so it's an exciting time to join Moat This involves delivering a great customer experience, having pride in our homes & places, and bringing growth to our new homes & communities.

We also deliver for and with our customers through our new Customer Engagement strategy, which will help us to deliver the requirements of the Social Housing White Paper.

We're not your 'standard' housing association.

Having been one of the pioneers of shared ownership in the early 1990s, leasehold now makes up more than a third of our overall homes.

Since then, we have assisted thousands of people to become shared owners, many of whom now own their homes outright but they still have a relationship with Moat as leaseholders and as part of the community on our developments.

As a not-for-profit organisation we are funded by a mixture of private finance and government grant.

We reinvest any surplus we make to maintain and improve our existing homes and communities, while also building new homes to address the ongoing housing shortage.

We are proud of the great homes and communities we've helped to build, and our ongoing commitment to improving the lives of our customers.

We hold a strong belief in collaborative working, therefore work in partnership with various local authorities, to enable us to leverage our collective strengths and expertise to deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers and wider communities.

'The Sunday Times Best Places to Work' 2023, based on our employee feedback.
