Work for Inspired Villages
Introduction to Inspired Villages
Inspired Villages was established in 2017 when the founding members entered into a partnership with Legal & General to operate and develop later living communities in suburban and rural locations across the UK. As of August 2021, and after four years of phenomenal growth and numerous awards, we are backed by a joint venture partnership between Legal & General and NatWest Group Pension Fund.
We’re on course to significantly transform the later life experience in the UK with a commitment to expand our portfolio to 34 retirement villages, which equates to around 5,000 age-appropriate homes for older people.
We want to offer our employees as well as our residents the best years of their lives. From humble beginnings, we’ve already become an award-winning company. But we’re not stopping here. With hugely ambitious growth plans, we’re looking for like-minded people to join us on our journey to become the world’s leading operator of retirement villages.
Why we’re working with Rest Less
At Inspired Villages, our purpose is to ensure we give our residents and our colleagues the best years of their lives. And we believe age is just a number. It’s certainly no barrier to what anyone can achieve.
We’re a growing company, with an ambitious growth plan, which we know can only be achieved through the work of our amazing colleagues. We value each and every one of them, having built a culture of belonging with wellbeing at its heart.
Our unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive culture has enabled us to continue to attract, retain and develop exceptional talent. Of all ages, and from all backgrounds, but we’re always on the look-out for more.
Why work with Inspired Villages
Becoming part of a community that quickly feels like family. Learning new skills and creating new experiences every day. Developing a career with no limits. That’s what working at Inspired Villages is all about.
We’re proud to have already seen many of our people develop and grow into different roles across the business and we are looking forward to supporting many others in their career with us in the years to come.
But don’t take our word for it, listen to what our colleagues have to say about us below!

Real-life stories
Changing your career track or transferring to a new company needn’t be daunting. We asked some of our valued team to tell us about their experiences of working at Inspired Villages. We hope they inspire you too.
Wendy, Head Housekeeper
“I’ve learnt so much since I’ve been here. Done things that I thought I’d never do in my life, like going to Leicester University and doing a management excellence course, which was amazing. I always laugh about it when I say, at my age (cause I’m coming up for 67), that I actually went to university! But here, they encourage you to do that. They encourage you and this is how they want you to be yourself and learn.”
Alan, Head Gardener
“As the Head Gardener at Millbrook Village in Devon, I love encouraging our residents to step out of their homes, away from the TV, and immerse themselves in the beautiful grounds that I’m lucky enough to work on.
My favourite things about working here are the camaraderie within my team, the unwavering support from the company, and the genuine appreciation and admiration from our residents. Giving back and helping others appreciate life is my ultimate goal. And working for Inspired Villages allows me to make a meaningful impact.”
Rob, Estates
“At Inspired Villages, we prioritise wellbeing. That’s one of the reasons I love working here. It’s always been very important to me to work for an employer that’s committed to actively promoting positive mental health, as well as physical.”
I’ve recently stepped-up in my career here by making the move from Accounts Payable to Estates. The opportunity came along and I thought, why not? After five years at Inspired Villages, I decided it was time to embrace change and grab the opportunity with both hands. And I’m so glad I did.”
