And what about us?
At Yorkshire Housing, we own and manage over 20,000 homes across the Yorkshire region. Providing our customers with a place they’re proud to call home is at the core of what we do. But our service doesn’t stop when the keys are in the door.
As we continue to develop new homes and our customer base expands, it’s more important than ever that we look towards our future talent and ensure we have the best people in place to provide excellent support to our customers. As our Plumber Multiskilled Apprentice you’ll play a key role in making this happen.
We’re committed to recruiting top talent and valuing our customers unique experiences to help us stay customer-focused. That’s why we’re actively encouraging our customers to apply.
The fine print
The closing date for applications will be 16th March 2025 - but we might close it early if we get lots of fab candidates, so don’t hang around! As this role is an apprenticeship, it’s a 24-month fixed contract, but once you’re fully qualified, we’d work with you to secure you an opportunity with us at Yorkshire Housing as we know good talent when we see it!
Please remember to complete your application with as much detail as possible, your application is your time to shine!
We know not everyone excels at interviews which means we don’t always get the best out of people in a ‘typical’ interview. As you can probably tell we don’t do things the ‘typical’ way here at Yorkshire Housing - so the next step of the process will involve an assessment day where we can give you the best opportunity to show us what you can do!
At YH, we’re actively building a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can contribute their best work and be themselves. We believe difference is what makes us stronger and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities we serve, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds for this role.
