For over 50 years we have been providing quality housing and services for older people in Scotland. We have grown from humble beginnings, starting out with one housing development in Bo’ness. We now provide a wide range of housing and services for around 15,000 people across 22 local authority areas. All our housing is designed especially with the older person in mind. We offer different types of housing to suit varying needs. Frailer older people are suited to our Care Housing whilst the more active are suited to our amenity or retirement housing. Visit the Housing or Care Services sections of our website to find out a bit more. We have a great staff team of around 1,200 people. If you are interested in working with us please visit the careers section of our website. Scheme staff also have the invaluable assistance of a small army of volunteers who help us to provide a wide range of social activities for our older people. If you would like to find out more about volunteer opportunities please visit the volunteer section of our website www.bield.co.uk

We're a national and forward-thinking social landlord and employer, with over 3,600 homes across the length and breadth of Scotland - we have a presence in 23 out of the 32 local authority areas in Scotland with around a third of our homes located in North Lanarkshire. While we are a national provider, we are very much rooted in the communities we serve. Our primary social rented offer includes general needs housing (36%) for households of all ages and housing for later living (61%). In addition, we provide some mid-market homes and shared ownership, and also provide factoring services to over 380 owners. We are one of Scotland’s largest housing, care and support providers for later living - we have specialised in housing, care and support services for older people for 50 years. We're much more than a landlord and service provider though. We are an organisation who care. We’re here to make a positive difference to the lives of our customers and the communities we serve. Our customers and communities are at the heart of everything we do, and our services are very people focused. As such, we are a large employer with over 700 full and part-time employees working across Scotland.
