Housing Asset Management Strategy 2019 - 2024 - Report - Page 11
Housing maintenance workforce
We have developed a competent and trained workforce to deliver the housing maintenance service to our tenants. In recent years we
acquired a local roofing and scaffolding company to contribute to the service. We are also conscious of the need to raise revenue to fund
the HRA and we offer our services to private companies and carry out work for owner-occupiers as well as other Registered Providers on a
chargeable basis.
Apprenticeships
We have a corporate commitment to our social value
responsibilities and are committed to employing and
training apprentices within the Housing Maintenance
Team. Since 2014 we have taken on 16 apprentices who
have worked in various trades. We were delighted when
two of our apprentices were short-listed for a national
apprenticeship award, with one of them winning.
