On a site just a few yards from the hustle and bustle of the High Street, lies Fifteenpenny Fields Almhouses run by Eltham United Charities, which dates from 1509 and provides free accommodation, heating and maintenance to retired persons on restricted means and capable of looking after themselves who reside in the parishes of Eltham and Mottingham. There are twenty one flats, nineteen are available for residents of which seventeen are currently occupied and two are empty (one of which needs a full refurbishment) and there is a guest room. There are also communal facilities including a library, a function room, and a laundry. All residents, individuals, and couples, live independently and securely in a supported environment and are among people of the same age who require the same things out of life.

We have an exciting opportunity for a new Resident Estate Manager to join the Charity and help facilitate the smooth running of our almshouses at Fifteenpenny Fields in Eltham.
