LiveWest
We are a leading developer of affordable and social housing in the south west. From the shores of Cornwall to the Gloucestershire hills, we have a vision to build real social change in our region, one front door at a time.
As DCH & Knightstone, we’ve been neighbours for years, and now we live and work together as LiveWest.
At our heart, we are a people business. We provide services to over 70,000 people in 35,000 homes, and plan to develop 15,000 new homes over the next 10 years. We support, listen and learn from our customers, offering them choice, flexibility and value for money. We invest not just in housing, but supporting individuals and communities. Working with and empowering local communities, neighbourhoods are stronger.
We employ around 1,350 talented people working to deliver our valuable services. Whether they’re working in our Exeter, Pool or Worle offices or out and about across 20 local authorities, each and every one of them is the key to our success.
Our brand values:
We need people who are passionate about what they do; people who can make a difference to people’s lives, and who believe in a home for everyone.

We recognise that seeking to be an employer and a housing provider which promotes and looks for opportunities to improve inclusion, embrace diversity and remove discrimination will enhance our business and enable us to become a company which engages with people. It is essential to help meet our vision of becoming a company where customers love what we do, where people are excited to work for us and will allow us to be the best company in the south west and an employer of choice.

There’s a sense of shared purpose and almost a family feel to what we all do and contribute
— Director of Community Engagement
After doing some research DCH certainly fitted the bill, and during my interview it became apparent that DCH would be a good fit for my skill set, my aspirations and my disability.
— Customer Services Advisor
I was drawn to the fact that DCH is a well-established organisation with a charitable status. It’s such a diverse business and there would be lots of opportunity to develop.
