Rapport Housing and Care is a registered charity which was established over 50 years ago. The organisation offers residential care along with supported and extra care housing across Kent and South East London. In addition to this, it currently has planning consent to deliver a £50M development programme providing extra care housing schemes. Furthermore, it has an exciting business plan along with immense determination to deliver more schemes.

Our committed and enthusiastic Board is drawn from a range of backgrounds and our members bring together professional, commercial and local experience. We are now looking to build the skills of the Board particularly in the following areas:

o The regulatory framework in Social Housing
o The regulatory framework in adult social care
o Accountant
o Human Resources


Most important however is a real empathy with the aims of the Organisation.

We care for peoples needs - not bricks and mortar - and we are proud of our history in meeting the needs of vulnerable people in later life.

Rapport Housing and Care offers Supported, Residential and Nursing Care to older people with physical frailty and Dementia across Kent.

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

We want everyone who meets us, no matter in what context, to experience our friendly, caring, compassionate philosophy, which runs through our whole organisation. We are a leading housing and social care provider in the south-east, flexible and responsive to the needs of people in later life.

OUR VALUES:

o Compassion: behaving in a manner that treats people with respect and dignity, listening to what they say and responding;
o Openness: Offering high quality services that are adaptable, flexible and that meet the changing needs of service users in a manner that offers genuine choice;
o Integrity: acting at all times in an honest and straightforward way with all those with whom we come into contact;
o People focussed: reflecting the ethos inherent in the organisations philosophy.
