Meeting Today's Housing Association Challenges

As the UK economy recovers from lockdowns, there is a critical need for Housing Associations to resource temporary and freelance skills. In addition to the traditional requirement for temporary workers to cover long-term sickness absences, unfilled permanent posts and peaks in workload – new skills are also now needed to deliver safer housing and to take account of new government mandates, particularly those framed by the Social Housing Whitepaper.

A new approach is now needed to tackle these challenges and meet the needs of tenants. At Matrix SCM, we provide an innovative Neutral Vendor approach that empowers you to get full control of your delivery and recruitment – so you can procure the skills you need more cost effectively, efficiently and with guaranteed compliance with areas like IR35.

Read our guide on the recruitment challenges facing Housing Associations and how you can solve them.
