Working with us
At OVH we employ more than 240 people and recognise that our strength lies in the quality of our employees.
We rely on their enthusiasm, experience and commitment to maintain and build on our successes so far and depend on them to deliver excellent service to our customers.
Embracing equality and diversity
We aim to attract, develop and retain the best people by engaging employees, offering attractive incentives and career opportunities, and ensuring all our people are treated with respect. We want to ensure that the working environments we create are inclusive. OVH promotes equality and diversity in the workforce as a business asset, helping to better understand and meet the needs of our diverse customers.
Investors in People Gold
The standard is awarded to organisations that demonstrate a commitment to the learning and development of their employees and achieve best practice in people management. We are currently the only Housing Association in Merseyside to have reached this standard and one of only five in the North West.
Looking after our people
We want to help employees balance work and family commitments, manage stress and have a healthy lifestyle.
Flexible working
We operate a flexible way of working in order to help employees balance work and home commitments and have a healthy lifestyle. We offer flexible working, part time and job share opportunities. A minimum of 28 days holiday, discounted gym membership and a staff incentive scheme are some of the benefits on offer.
Medicash
Employees are also offered the opportunity to purchase private healthcare through the organisation at a very small cost. The service through Medicash offers support on dental care, optical care, consultation, hospital stays, child birth, complimentary therapies as well as personal accident cover.
Striving for excellence
The Striving for Excellence Framework is designed to enable our people to reach their potential and improve their performance.
By constantly improving performance we hope to create a workforce which is dedicated, motivated and improves the service we offer to our customers.
Bike to work scheme
We are registered with the ‘Bike 2 Work’ scheme meaning we are able to offer employees the opportunity to purchase a bike on interest free payments. You can save up to 50% on the cost of new bike equipment whilst reducing your carbon footprint and improving both your general health and wellbeing.
Pension scheme
New employees are automatically signed up to our pension scheme with the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ if they wish to do so. The scheme is run through the Merseyside Pension Fund. For more information, go to: www.merseysidepensionform.org.uk
Investing In People
Our aim is to be a great place to work and an acknowledged ‘employer of choice’. We believe that the better experience our people have at OVH, the better service they will give our customers and therefore strive for everyone to feel valued and be rewarded for their contribution. A recent reaccredidation in the ‘Investors In People’ standard praised our people’s knowledge of the business, engagement with our customers, employee recognition and staff development.
