Our People

Bernicia is a caring organisation committed to quality services, affordable homes and working together to build confident communities.  To do this our board members, staff and tenants work together to ensure our ambitions and plans are delivered.

It is important that we have a well trained, dedicated and productive staff to deliver the standard of services expected by our customers. We involve and develop staff to do their jobs through appraisals, internal and external training, vocational courses, staff newsletters, Investors in People, Investors in Excellence, and staff conferences.

We seek to provide excellent terms and conditions of employment and a pleasant working environment as we believe these assist us in providing the range of high quality services designed to meet customers’ needs.
