**Pembroke House**
Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in
Walworth, south-east London.

We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Shocked by growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach; taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities.

For over 130 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people - whatever their background or walk of life - in building a better Walworth.
We currently manage two public buildings - Pembroke House and the Walworth
Living Room - as well as three Houses in Multiple Occupation and have plans to take on further buildings in the neighbourhood.

**What will happen if this job is done well?**
- Stewardship: Pembroke House’s buildings will be well-maintained
- Welcome: We will provide a safe and welcoming environment for all buildings users and visitors
- Efficiency: A proactive programme of routine maintenance as well as capacity for responsive repairs will enable issues to be dealt with before they become major problems.
- Income generation: Our self-generated income from room hires and property rental will be secured and supported by responsible buildings management
