Kickstart Your Career in Housing – Become a Housing Apprentice
Are you ready to start a career where no two days are the same and where your work genuinely improves people’s lives?
At CKH, we’re launching an exciting Housing Apprenticeship Programme designed to develop the next generation of housing professionals. This is your opportunity to gain real experience, earn while you learn, and build a long-term career in a sector that truly matters.
Why Choose a Career in Housing?
Housing is about more than buildings it’s about people, communities, and creating places where individuals can thrive.
As a Housing Apprentice, you will:
✅ Work directly with residents and communities
✅ Learn how to manage homes, tenancies, and neighbourhoods
✅ Develop skills that are in high demand across the sector
✅ Build a career with real purpose and progression

From day one, you’ll be part of a supportive team, gaining hands-on experience while working towards a recognised qualification.
You’ll:
- Support tenants with queries and day-to-day housing needs
- Learn how housing services operate, from tenancy management to community support
- Get involved in real casework with guidance from experienced professionals
- Develop confident communication skills – even in challenging situations
- Gradually take on more responsibility as your skills grow

The Company
A commercial business with a social heart, our vision is to create opportunities that change lives through our drive, expertise, resources and passion.
Our dynamic approach has made us one of the region’s leading providers of affordable homes for rent and sale. Developing new homes across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and the surrounding area, we’re committed to increasing the supply of affordable homes in the communities where they are needed most. Agility and innovation are central to our approach to adapting to change, and we’ll continue to grow our business in today’s fast-paced operating environment.
There’s more to building communities than building houses. In addition to providing quality homes and delivering excellent landlord services, we also provide care at home and at our two extra care communities in Peterborough as well as around the clock support through our LifeLine personal alarm service. Our community investment programme sees us working with specialist partners to bring a range of employment, wellbeing and family-friendly services to the heart of our communities, with a rapidly expanding digital support offer too.
You can find out more about us and the services we offer our residents on the CKH website.
