Moxie People Named Preferred Recruitment Partner for CCHA: Building Communities Together

We’ve always believed that the strongest partnerships are built on shared values.

That’s why we’re proud to announce that Moxie People has been named as the preferred recruitment partner for Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA).

But this partnership goes beyond just recruitment. It’s about creating meaningful opportunities, driving positive change and helping CCHA attract the right people to shape thriving communities across Cardiff.

We’ve long admired the work CCHA does to empower people and uplift their communities. Their commitment to people-first values, inclusion and doing the right thing reflects everything that we stand for here at Moxie. So when the opportunity came along to deepen our already strong relationship and support them in their mission, we jumped at it!

Why CCHA and Moxie’s Partnership Matters

A natural alignment

CCHA is more than just a housing association. With over 3,000 homes under their management, their purpose extends well beyond bricks and mortar. They’re creating safe, supportive spaces where people feel seen, valued, and included. Enhanced with their wraparound services, local engagement projects and an inclusive leadership team at their core.

At Moxie, we’ve always been drawn to values led organisations and CCHA is a brilliant example of that. They’re not just providing housing. They’re building communities, shaping futures, and making sure people feel truly seen and supported. Becoming their preferred recruitment partner is a real privilege for the team at Moxie People.

"CCHA were actually one of Moxie’s first clients when we started back in 2019 and we were incredibly grateful that they appreciated our vision for a different kind of recruitment partner and gave us an opportunity to prove what we could do.

We’re proud to support their mission, champion inclusive recruitment, and help bring in the kind of people who genuinely care about making a difference.

This partnership is more than business. For us it’s about driving real, lasting change in the social housing sector, together."

Sam Cooper-Woolley, Co-Founder and Director | Moxie People

This kind of values-led work deserves recruitment that can match that energy. And that’s where Moxie comes in.

We will be supporting CCHA in attracting brilliant people who don’t just fit their culture, but actively contribute to it. Candidates that care and have a real desire to make a difference in Wales’ housing sector.

The Role of Inclusive Recruitment in Social Housing

Why recruitment partnerships like this matter more than ever

The housing sector in Wales is facing significant challenges: rising demand, funding pressures and the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis on vulnerable tenants.

Now, more than ever, social housing providers need people who can lead with compassion, people that think differently and work collaboratively to solve these complex issues.

That’s why getting recruitment right - purpose-led, people first and inclusive, is critical. It’s not about numbers, it’s about finding the right people to drive change from the inside out.

"Our goal in recruiting is always to ensure everyone is treated with fairness and given the best opportunity to showcase their talents and how they can enrich our work culture. We want people to add their very best to our organisation, not just ‘fit in’.

While we usually handle a lot of recruitment in-house, it's not always feasible. This year, we chose to go through a tender process to find the perfect recruitment partner - someone who can not only fill positions but also engage with and select talent in a way that truly considers people, just like we do!"

Seb York, People Partner | CCHA

We've had the pleasure of working with Moxie over the years, but throughout this competitive and rigorous process, they demonstrated why their vision and mission perfectly match our approach. We're genuinely excited that Moxie has become one of our two exclusive partners moving forward.

How This Partnership Benefits Communities in Cardiff

What this partnership will look like

This isn’t a one-off, transactional recruitment campaign. It’s a long-term collaboration built on trust, transparency, and shared values:

As CCHA’s preferred recruitment partner, we’ll be working together on:

  • Championing inclusive candidate attraction
  • Enhancing the candidate experience and onboarding journey

And as always, we’ll be talking about our impact together and shining a light on the difference purpose-led careers can make.

Looking Ahead - Recruitment with Purpose

For us at Moxie, this partnership is part of our wider mission: to help social housing and third sector organisations recruit with heart, strategy and integrity with an aim to improve our local communities.

We’re not the kind of recruiter who places a candidate and disappears. We’re here to connect brilliant people with roles that matter, and to enhance their experience every step of the way.

This partnership with CCHA isn’t just about hiring for us. It’s about helping to shape the future of housing in Wales through people who genuinely care about community, purpose and social impact.

So, thank you to CCHA for your trust. We’re proud to partner with you and play a part in the brilliant work you do every day.

And to anyone reading this, thinking about their next role or what it means to work with purpose - keep an eye out!

Big things are coming!
