1. Welcome Letter Dear Prospective Applicant, Director Delivery and Construction Development Director New Business

Thank you for your interest in one of the above roles at Peabody. This is an exciting time to join Peabody as we are delivering some of London’s most exciting developments. We now have over 27,000 homes, housing nearly 80,000 people. All of these are in London, one of the most dynamic cities in the world. Overall we have a pipeline of 8,000 homes and will deliver 1,000 new homes each year from 2014/15 (this is currently being reviewed with a plan to increase volume), of which forty percent are earmarked for sale or rent in the private market, with profits used to fund new affordable homes. We currently have £1.5bn of construction work in our pipeline and £300m construction work on site. But for us, it’s not just about programme size, we have a 152 year track record in creating great places across London – exemplar urban design and opportunity for all. We are ambitious, passionate about urban design and committed to place-making. As a lead developer we are delivering large scale regeneration, sensitive refurbishment of historic buildings, product innovation, mixed tenure and mixed use. This includes our plans for Thamesmead where we are leading two of London’s first Housing Zones in the London Boroughs of Bexley and Greenwich, working with a range of partners to realise our vision of a mixed, economically active and vibrant community and 3,000 new homes on over 100 acres of developable land. These two new roles are very important to the Peabody Trust as it continues its rapid growth and transformation as an innovative and high volume developer with a strong track record of high design place-making and regeneration. We are looking for inspirational and innovative professionals who will seize the potential of these opportunities with one of the most cutting-edge developers in London. This is a really interesting and exciting time to be joining Peabody and I wish you every success in your application. Jeremy Stibbe Executive Director – Development and Sales Peabody

2. About Peabody Peabody was set up by philanthropist George Peabody in 1862 to ‘alleviate the condition of the poor and needy’. He may not have known it at the time, but he was also the pioneer of social housing as we now know it. George Peabody was an American banker who adopted London as his home because he fell in love with the excitement and spontaneity of this great city. He wanted everybody to make the most of opportunities at a time when poverty in the capital was rife, but realised that this could not be the case without social change. In 1862, George donated a sum of money – equivalent to several hundred million pounds in modern terms – to create the Peabody Donation Fund. Quickly, his pioneering organisation started to build the beautiful Victorian homes that pepper the heart of London to this day. Though times have changed greatly since Peabody’s inception in 1862, the thriving spirit of London remains the same and George Peabody’s beliefs still prevail at the heart of everything the organisation does. Peabody’s mission is to make London a city of opportunity for all by ensuring as many people as possible have a good home, a real sense of purpose and a strong feeling of belonging. Over the years, Peabody has provided homes to hundreds of thousands of people across the capital; currently, it has more than 27,000 homes, with approaching 80,000 residents. We have recently welcomed Gallions, a registered provider managing 6,500 homes in Thamesmead in South East London, to the Peabody family. This will extend our mission further across London by improving the quality of homes and neighbourhoods for Gallions residents. It also means we can increase our capacity to do more, through economies of scale and using our assets as security to support future growth. We have also successfully raised additional funding through a bond issue to enable significant acceleration of the Thamesmead regeneration programme. Over the next 10 years we will work with a range of partners to realise our vision of a mixed, economically active and vibrant community. Peabody has always placed a special focus on developing its communities and supporting individuals to improve their quality of life and fulfil their aspirations. Peabody runs one of the biggest social and economic development programmes of any London housing provider. Tens of thousands of people in London have benefited from community programmes and services spanning training and employment; healthy living; citizenship activities for younger people; specialist housing and activities for older people; volunteering opportunities; digital and financial inclusion services; and support for vulnerable families. In the last 15 years alone, Peabody also helped more than 15,000 people gain qualifications and guided 3,500 into work through community programmes and initiatives.
