Pain point

Hard to find consistent work with housing providers

Finding reliable work with social housing providers can be challenging. You spend hours on cold calls, responding to scattered job boards, or relying on word-of-mouth referrals. There's no centralized place where housing providers can find you, and you can't showcase your specializations, certifications, or track record effectively.

• Get discovered by housing providers actively searching for your services
• Showcase your specializations, certifications, and portfolio in one place
• Receive qualified inquiries from providers who need your expertise
• Build your reputation with reviews and ratings from satisfied clients

Pain point

Time wasted on unqualified leads

You respond to inquiries only to find out the job is outside your service area, doesn't match your specializations, or the budget doesn't align. This wastes your time and the provider's time, creating frustration on both sides.

• Set your service areas so providers only contact you for relevant work
• Define your specializations so you get matched with the right projects
• Display your rates upfront to ensure budget alignment
• Filter inquiries by priority, location, and project type

Pain point

No way to showcase your expertise

Housing providers need to see your qualifications, past work, and reliability before hiring. Without a professional profile, you're just another name on a list. You can't demonstrate your expertise, show your portfolio, or build trust with potential clients.

• Create a professional profile that highlights your experience and qualifications
• Upload portfolio images to showcase your past work
• Display certifications, insurance details, and professional credentials
• Build trust with verified status and client reviews

Customer perspective

“I've been a plumber for 15 years, but finding consistent work with housing associations was always a challenge. Since joining Social Home, I get 3-4 qualified inquiries per week. The setup was quick, and the inquiries are always relevant to my service area.”
