Get Into Housing is a brand new initiative which puts you at the centre. If you’re over the age of 18, identify from an ethnically diverse background, and are long-term unemployed, this project will give you…

  • valuable skills to boost your CV;
  • an opportunity to understand and develop your talents;
  • a chance to explore a career in housing;
  • bespoke mentoring to help you achieve your potential and plan for long-term success.

Our Offer

Together with Cadwyn, HafodUnited WelshLinc CymruWales & West Housing, Taff Housing, Welsh Government, and Principality, we will provide paid work placements across a variety of departments. Each placement is for 21 hours per week, and lasts for 16 weeks. Not only will this offer you on-the-job experience, you will also be paid the Real Living Wage (£12 per hour) and receive bespoke mentoring to support you during your placement and the next steps in your career.

This project is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.
