Want a career in housing?
If you're interested in a career in housing, then we have an opportunity for you!
The Dale Butcher Residents Work Experience Programme is an opportunity to gain practical experience in asset management and development.
Designed to be flexible and to work around your busy lives, the programme provides meaningful hands-on experience and the opportunity to gain a recognised entry level qualification, paid for by Eastlight.
You’ll spend time with our Asset Management Team, who look after your homes to ensure they’re safe, comfortable and energy efficient places to live. And you’ll discover how colleagues in our Development Team build new, high-quality homes for the thousands of people in your community who are in housing need.
You don’t need any relevant experience – just a desire to develop new skills, to explore career options, or to simply learn more about how a housing association operates.
This programme is open to Eastlight residents and members of their households, offering a practical way to gain experience and contribute to important projects.
