Employability Support - Nottingham City Homes
We're committed to helping our residents who are looking for work, to find work. We offer a variety of opportunities to help you find a job. This includes practical support such as CV writing and interview skills, training opportunities and work experience.
Nottingham Works 4 You (NW4You)
NW4You (Nottingham Works for You) is an employability initiative for 16 to 24 year-olds in Nottingham who face barriers to finding work and aren’t in education, employment or training. If you’d like further information, please email us.
Work experience
A work experience placement is a voluntary placement in a working environment, usually lasting between one and two weeks. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see what the world of work is like, and to gain experience that will help you up onto the career ladder.
It will provide you with some basic employment skills, such as timekeeping, communication, team-work and planning. If you have any questions, please call the Employability Team on 0115 746 9100 or email us.
Apprenticeships
Our apprenticeship programme brings diverse talent into our business, develops and grow our future talent pipeline, and reinvigorates our existing workforce.
We offer apprenticeships in business administration, customer service, IT, caretaking, and in a range of construction trades – electrical, joinery, heating, plumbing, bricklaying and plastering. Apprentices gain on-the-job training, study for a qualification and earn money while they learn.
You must apply online – we don’t accept CVs. If you are interested in an apprenticeship opportunity with us, keep an eye on our vacancy page.

Ever considered a career in construction? Why not come along to one of our FREE women-led workshops and find out what it’s like to be a plumber, electrician, joiner, plasterer, gas engineer, painter and decorator, bricklayer or to have a go at block-paving? You’ll gain new skills, meet new people and have fun!

Schools employability support
Many young people live in council housing in Nottingham, and we want to engage with these young residents. We can’t do this alone and recognise that working with local schools is one of the best way to extend the reach of our employment support.
As part of our objective to inspire, we are committed to working with local schools to improve young people’s transition from education to employment through our local school employability offer.
Aspiration Days, Construction Taster Workshops, Construction Maths Challenge, Work Experience, Interview Skills Workshops, Youth Inspectors & Apprenticeship Talks. Please visit our website for more information.
Kickstart
Kickstart is for young people aged between 16 and 24 who are claiming Universal Credit and are at risk of long-term unemployment. It’s all about giving young people the chance to build their confidence and skills in the workplace.
Kickstarters are paid at national minimum wage, for 25 hours a week for six months – so they really are great opportunities.
If you have any questions or want to find out more, email us or call 0115 746 9100.
