Join Community Housing as a Property Maintenance Apprentice and start a practical career helping to maintain and improve people’s homes.

If you’re interested in learning a trade but not sure where to begin, this role offers a great starting point. It suits someone who enjoys active, varied work and wants to build a broad set of trade skills while making a positive difference in local communities.

You’ll earn while you learn, working alongside experienced tradespeople and gaining real‑world experience across repairs, improvements and maintenance work, in a role where RESPECT, teamwork and pride in your work are key.

What you’ll learn and experience

During your apprenticeship, you’ll be supported to:

  • Learn how to carry out a range of property maintenance tasks, including repairs, improvements and refurbishment works
  • Support experienced tradespeople with day‑to‑day jobs, developing practical skills across different types of work
  • Help prepare for jobs by organising tools, materials and equipment
  • Use a handheld device to record job progress, work completed and time spent, building good work habits from the start
  • Take part in training sessions to build knowledge, confidence and safe working practices
  • Provide a friendly and respectful service when working in people’s homes, representing Community Housing positively
  • Learn to work safely at all times by following company procedures, using tools and equipment correctly

You’ll receive ongoing support as you develop your skills and confidence in the role, with opportunities to learn and practise new tasks in a real working environment.

The training

As an apprentice, you’ll receive a mix of practical workplace learning with Community Housing and training with an external provider. You’ll be supported to build your skills through hands on experience, alongside structured learning to support your development.

Training with the provider is usually around one day per week, although this can vary. Full details of the provider location and learning schedule will be confirmed once a successful offer has been made.

Who we’re looking for

We welcome applications from people who:

  • Enjoy practical, hands‑on work and learning new skills
  • Are reliable, motivated and keen to develop a trade
  • Can balance work responsibilities with training requirements
  • Share our values and show RESPECT to customers, colleagues and communities

You don’t need previous experience; we’re looking for the right attitude, willingness to learn and pride in doing a good job.

Why choose an apprenticeship with us?

Community Housing was formed in 2000 through a stock transfer from Wyre Forest District Council. We are a social business and one of Worcestershire’s largest Registered Providers of social housing, managing around 6000 homes and offering a range of services that help people to live independently.

We are proud of what we have achieved so far for the people and communities we support. Over the coming years we are focused on helping people to thrive and live independently, knowing they have a secure place they can call home, that they can afford, and with a landlord who cares about them.

Our Corporate Plan will help us to push forward and achieve results for our customers and communities. But even more so, it is our people that will drive our success.

With the right people, with the right skills, knowledge, behaviour, and values we achieve our goals.

When we are looking to recruit, we don’t just look for the best skillset or experience, we are also looking for people who will support our vision and ‘The Community Way’ of doing things.
