Our support teams are what keeps Barratt working behind the scenes. We’re a 6,000-strong workforce and to stay at the leading edge of the industry we need to stay at the forefront of IT, HR, Law, Planning, Corporate Communications and everything else that keeps a large company ticking. Every team collaborates to put everyone in the best possible position to succeed and there are opportunities around the country.
