Introduction and Background

Brookside was established in 1996 as a specialist agency to provide staffing, resources and training to organisations operating in the Social Housing sector. Our aim is to be a cost-effective, high quality service that can be totally relied upon by social housing organisations and the people we have registered with us.

Our area of operation is predominantly in the East of England – we also provide staff in other regions particularly in relation to interim managers and project managers.

Brookside differs significantly from other agencies and staff suppliers – we believe this provides you with a superior service:

We specialise in social housing

Both our directors have worked in the public and housing sectors (local authority and RSL) for many years – this is at Housing Director level through to frontline levels, so you benefit from an excellent knowledge of housing issues. One director is a member of the CIH East Region Branch Committee.

Your contact point with us is solely with our two directors – this provides you with a highly personal, professional service with excellent standards of consistency and communication

We can supply quality people to housing organisations at rates to beat our competitors, whilst achieving top rates of pay for the staff and interim/project managers we place

Brookside is also able to provide staffing and resources to councils and housing organisations in the Supporting People sector.
