Making a Difference
to people's lives

Wrekin Kickstart opportunities


Last month we announced that some 45 paid work placements were being created at The Wrekin Housing Group over the next 12 months.

We have four roles which close this Friday 5 March, based in customer services, care admin and catering.

Young people, aged 16 – 24 years, who are currently claiming Universal Credit, can access the opportunities as part of the government’s Kickstart programme. The programme, launched as part of the covid-recovery plan, provides funding to create job placements with employers of all sizes.

The six month long placements provide the opportunity of gaining real world work experience, learning new skills, growing together and will ultimately make a difference to people’s lives.

Anyone interested needs to contact their Job Centre Work Coach to get the details. Applications can only be accepted through referrals from the Job Centre.
