WITH US
We keep busy by managing, upgrading and providing housing solutions for people across mid and West Wales – from the Shropshire borders, through Powys, Ceredigion,North Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
We achieve great results by investing in the best team and want all our staff to care about the work we do. Every department in our business works towards achieving the same goal. We care. And we’re proud of that.
We are a registered social landlord who provide a wide range of social housing – flats, houses, bungalows and sheltered accommodation for rent as well as properties for rent on an intermediate basis which is more than social rent, but importantly, less than the private sector market.
We also have new build developments offering more creative ways to support local people to get on the property ladder and secure homes close to work and family in our rural communities in Ceredigion, Powys, North Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire through shared ownership (see our main website for further details and locations).
Ceredigion and rural mid Wales has strong Welsh speaking communities and we pride ourselves in employing Welsh speakers and actively encourage bilingualism in everything we do.
You speak Welsh? Great! You don’t? Not a problem, we can help. Welsh classes and mentoring are available for those staff members that want to learn the language or just brush up on skills.

We encourage employees to sit appropriate professional qualifications that are relevant to their departments and to their personal development. Training is also available for those content in their current role to ensure skills and abilities are kept up to date and the customer experience continuously enhanced.
We want to ensure Barcud is recognised as a great place to throughout mid Wales. It is important that all our staff can achieve a good work life balance and feel that they are appreciated for their efforts in delivering top quality services.
