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.
