Working here
Our employees love working for an organisation that builds quality and affordable homes for people, realising a new possible for so many. With over 50 years of heritage building homes for families, we’re proud to be a 5-star builder, with a focus on customer care and quality running through the DNA of the organisation.
Our open culture encourages frank and honest discussion. We hire people who are excited to use their experience and keen to share their opinions and have their voice heard. People consistently tell us that they feel able to be their authentic selves at work. We’re proud of that, but not complacent, and we continue to foster a diverse and inclusive working environment across our business.
We embrace flexible working and have a culture based on trust. As a member of our team, you’ll want to do the right thing, and make the right decisions to help you do your best work every day. In return, you can expect an exciting and varied working life, with opportunities, possibilities, rewards and benefits.
Our mission, vision and values
Our Mission, Vision and Values, which build on our many strengths, guide us as we strive to be Britain’s leading homebuilder. We’ll always be clear with you on the direction of Persimmon, so we can unite our people around a shared purpose.
Diversity & Inclusion
We are focused on attracting a more diverse workforce across every aspect of our operations. In 2021 we set stretching diversity targets, and in 2025 we expanded these to focus on increasing the representation of ethnic minorities and females across our business by the end of 2027.
- 34.4% of our senior management team are female (target: 37%)
- 40.5% of all salaried roles in the Company are held by females (target: 40%)
- 31.2% of our employees are female (target: 33%)
In 2025 we conducted a full review and update of our D&I Strategy, and this has shaped the actions of our D&I Working Group.
Our two initial employee network groups, the Persimmon Women’s Network and Persimmon Pride, continue to thrive and are supported by a range of internal communications initiatives. In 2025, we launched two further network groups, in line with employee suggestions: a Religion and Culture Group, and a Carers’ Community.
