Careers in Housing

Prospect staff offered information and advice about careers in housing at last week’s Job Fair in Oxgangs. Organised by Dr Scott Arthur MP in collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions, the event took place at St Johns Colinton Mains Church. Jobseekers were invited to meet organisations and potential employers to explore employment opportunities. It was open to all job seekers but with a dedicated focus on young people aged 16-25 years old who might be looking for work or to start a new career. Our staff were kept busy speaking to a wide range of people about the different career options in housing, as well as providing some housing advice. It was a well-attended event, and we hope that people were encouraged to see the range of jobs available in housing, and to consider employment opportunities with housing associations.
