Various definitions are available for keyworkers, but in essence if you provide a public service, you are probably a keyworker. The list of keyworker occupations includes: teachers, doctors, nurses, porters and social workers, firefighters, police, but there are many more.
If you are a keyworker looking for housing, INplace can help. INplace provides shared ownership and market rent schemes that may be suitable for keyworkers. Keyworkers are often prioritised for these types of schemes.
INplace also develops housing specifically for keyworkers, often in partnership with employers. This ranges from a room in a shared flat with your own washing facilities and a shared kitchen/common room (often called cluster flats) to self-contained accommodation.
For example, there are INplace keyworker schemes in Sidcup, Kent and Lambeth, South London, developed in partnership with NHS trusts. These homes are available to let to medical staff working for the local hospital.
