SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity will be unveiling the brand-new Norton House, Stanford Hall in September 2018 – we are looking for enthusiastic, caring individuals to help us support military families.
Providing home-from-home accommodation to Armed Forces families supporting their loved ones throughout their rehabilitation process, the property is designed to be an invaluable sanctuary for relatives as they focus on the bigger task at hand.
Norton House, Stanford Hall will offer a welcoming, non-clinical place to stay for families supporting injured military relatives at the newly-built Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre (DNRC), which will also open in September.
The Norton House project has been running for over 10 years. This latest property in the Norton House legacy will replace Norton House, Headley Court, ensuring that SSAFA is always close to the heart of military rehabilitation.

The Deputy Housing Manager will be responsible for the day to day operational management of Norton House, ensuring the home is run to the highest of standards, and that practical and welfare support is provided to residents.
