Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

No two will ever be the same. One day you might be organising activities that bring neighbours together, the next you could be welcoming new residents or making sure our health and safety standards are met. It’s varied, people-focused, and full of opportunities to grow.

We’re looking for someone with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to help people. Previous experience is always useful, but what really matters is your outgoing personality, flexibility, and eagerness to learn. In return, we’ll give you excellent training, real responsibility, and the opportunity to begin a rewarding career in social housing.
