INDAD

North Star operates across the North East and North Yorkshire. We build and manage 4,000 units of high-quality, affordable housing including specialist supported housing. We are committed to creating homes and building futures as well as investing in people at every level.

Polaris also called the “North Star” is a constant in the sky. It’s more than just a single star; it’s a natural beacon that’s been used to navigate for centuries. It provides direction to those who are lost and without any other form of conventional navigation. Stars shine, and we look to them for guidance and inspiration. Our Organisation is full of North Star’s’. Bright people who sparkle, achieving great things, and rising stars who shatter expectations, raise the bar, and are great to be around.

**What is good about working at North Star?**

In 2024 and 2021 we were named **UK Employer of the year** in the Investors in People Platinum awards.

We are award winning, growing, and thriving as a business. We were the first Housing Association in England to be awarded The Investors in People Platinum standard and are proud to hold this accolade.

We are proud of what we have achieved, as its hard work. We do it because it makes North Star strong and ensures that we can do the very best for and with our customers.

Flexible, agile, hybrid working operates throughout North Star. After three months, once you are settled, developed relationships, and are proficient in your role, you can (depending on your role) work from any office, your home, or another location. However we all base ourselves in the office at least two days a week, to ensure that we can continue to develop our relationships and culture. This approach was developed by all staff.

We only employ exceptional people and invest significantly in the development of everyone. People are at the centre of the business, supported by a culture of relational leadership where everyone has a strong voice and influence.
