Housing Hub/NHS Rooms Service

Who are we and what do we do?

The Housing Hub team was created in 2022 to provide support to staff who are joining Trusts across Hampshire & the Isle of Wight. We’re primarily here to support internationally recruited staff with their search for accommodation in the private rental sector, but with increasing pressure on the housing market, particularly with rentals, we can also provide support to any member of NHS staff who may be in housing crisis. So far, we have registered over 1260 NHS colleagues in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and directly or indirectly helped more than 770 to find a home over the last 2 years.

The Hub is estimated to have been instrumental in retaining and recruiting over 80 staff, potentially saving the NHS in the region of £700,000 over 2 years.

What is the NHS Rooms Service?

The Housing Hub introduced our NHS Rooms service in January 2023, which is where an active member of NHS staff rents out a fully furnished bedroom within their own home, to a fellow NHS colleague in need.

From 1^st August 2024, our NHS Rooms service is open and available to all staff.  If you work anywhere the NHS and you live in Hampshire or the Isle of Wight, please join one of our webinars listed below for further information:

• 18 September at 4pm  
• 26 September at 10.30am
• 4 October at 12pm
