Employment and training

We offer a personalised service of guidance, support and practical help to any customer looking to access training or work and support our residents to achieve their goals. So whether you’re looking for your first job, thinking of a career change, would like to gain a qualification or are planning for the longer-term, get in touch by emailing employmentandskills@sovereign.org.uk

We’re also committed to making sure that local people benefit from the development and regeneration work we do. We work with our contractors and the relevant local authorities to provide local people with opportunities to improve their construction skills and enhance their future employment prospects. If you're interested in training and employment opportunities in construction, please contact building.futures@networkhomes.org.uk

Some of the ways we can help

• grants to help you access training and work opportunities
• support with your CV
• finding the right job for you
• improving your interview skills 
• completing successful application forms
• training and qualification opportunities 
• digital skills support
• help with self-employment; business start-up and business resilience. 

If you already have a job, we can also work with you to help you find different career opportunities or to move your career forward. For some residents this can mean increasing your earnings through better pay or more hours, finding more secure work, finding work closer to home to reduce travel costs or to fit around caring for children or family members or changing to a sector where there are good career progression opportunities for higher paid or higher skilled jobs.
