Our first career may well not be our last, especially in a jobs market where skills and competencies, values and attitudes can count for as much as qualifications and experience.

A career in housing can be rewarding as well as interesting. It’s not just about front-line housing management work either. Housing organisations offer a much wider variety of roles than you might think, including in finance, accountancy, community development, policy work, IT, website development, corporate services and many other areas.

Housing associations and local authority housing services are spread throughout Scotland, meaning there are opportunities from the Shetland Islands to Dumfries and Galloway and everywhere in between.
