Our Staff

Management Team

The Co-operative employs a staff team whose job it is to ensure that our tenants and other service users receive a friendly, efficient and responsive service. All staff are experienced in their different areas of expertise with appropriate qualifications. 

In addition to our staff team, we engage a number of third parties to deliver specialist elements of our service (e.g. technical support, welfare/ money advice, finance, IT, internal/ external audit services).
