Graduate apprentices appointed

Housing 21 has announced the appointment of three new graduate recruits following the success of its inaugural graduate trainee programme.

David Freeman, Simon Wheatley and Sarah Ellison have joined the leading provider of housing, care and support services and will be working on projects covering all aspects of the business.

After a period of induction which will include various shadowing opportunities, they will be working on a wide range of corporate assignments. The new recruits will have the opportunity to gain experience in departments across the organisation, including IT, Policy and Research, Corporate Services, Social Care and Housing Management.

Commenting on the opportunity facing the trainees, Jackie Carter, Corporate Services Director for Housing 21 said: “They have joined one of the largest specialist housing associations in England and we have already lined up a range of interesting and challenging projects for them.

“During the three-year programme they will gain experience in all areas, rather than working on one speciality. This way they will have the opportunity to discover the direction they want their career to take.”

Housing 21 took on their first graduate recruit, James Salmon, last year. David, Simon and Sarah will join James at the association’s London office.
