NHS Rooms HAVE A SPARE ROOM AT HOME? The Housing Hub is here for all NHS colleagues who have a housing need, and you might be able to help us out by offering your spare bedroom, so why not drop us a line? We can help support your search for rented housing when you register with us, for both long and shorter term stays, and we can also help guide you if you might be considering buying your own place for the first time (either outright ownership or Part Buy/ Part Rent). Over 1600 NHS staff in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have registered for support with the Housing Hub since 2022. If you have a spare bedroom at home, ideally within a 30-minute bus ride of one of our Hospital sites, you could earn up to £7500 tax-free* as one of our “NHS Rooms” hosts. Both shorter and longer stays are in demand – so join the room bank! Get in touch to register with us, or to find out more about hosting with “NHS Rooms” by requesting our FAQ’s, email: iownt.housing-hub@nhs.net today. (*via the government Rent a Room scheme). |
