  • Socially Inclusive Recruitment to Tackle Skills Shortages

    Across the Social Housing Maintenance and Repairs market, it has been noticed that the current workforce is ageing with a lack of new blood coming into the market, so maybe a new approach needs to be adopted when recruiting to engage with an untapped talent pool.

     

    How can a new approach be taken which at the same time can improve socio-economic situations for impoverished communities?

    Each year millions of pounds are invested in training young people, coupled with those who have retrained after falling out of the employment market, yet this untapped talent pool has not yet filtered through to Social Housing.

    How can recruitment strategies be altered to ensure opportunities are offered to the hardest-to-reach in society, adding Social Value, but also helping to solve the skills gap within the market and offer long-term sustainable employment to those in the local community?

  • The future of quality, decency and energy efficiency in Social Housing

    In response to challenges relating to quality, decency, and energy efficiency, the government is currently undertaking a programme of ambitious reform in social housing. In the last few months, several government proposals have been released that, when finalised and implemented, will usher in significant changes for the sector.

    The Social Housing Round Table is partnering with the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) to host this session, which will explore some of the most significant government proposals and their consequences for the sector and its residents. Members of CIH’s policy and practice team will summarise and present the main proposals contained in current government consultations (e.g. Awaab’s Law, the Future Homes Standard), and you will have the opportunity to use your experience and expertise to shape CIH’s response.
