Castles & Coasts Housing Association (CCHA) will be attending the Carlisle Careers Fair on Wednesday 26 August to speak to local people about career, apprenticeship, and development opportunities across the organisation. 

Taking place at the Crown & Mitre Hotel from 10am to 2pm, the event will bring together employers and jobseekers from across the region. Organised by The UK Careers Fair, it is open to people at all stages of their career, from those looking for apprenticeships and entry-level roles to experienced professionals considering their next step. 

Visitors to the CCHA stand will be able to learn more about opportunities in housing, trades (electricians, joiners, plumbers, painters & decorators and ground maintenance), customer services, property services, business support and corporate functions such as finance, IT, communications, and people services. Colleagues will also be available to talk about apprenticeships, career development and what it is like to work for a housing association that supports residents and communities across the North of England. 

Clive Liggett, Head of People at CCHA, said:  "We’re looking forward to meeting people from across Cumbria and introducing them to the wide range of careers available at CCHA. Whether someone is just starting out, considering a career change, or looking for their next challenge, the careers fair is a great opportunity to ask questions and find out how they could build a rewarding career while making a positive difference to residents and communities. We regularly have roles at all levels and across many different professions. We’d encourage anyone who is interested in working with us to visit our stand, meet the team and learn more about the opportunities available." 

Matthew Busby, Electrical Apprentice, added: "Starting my apprenticeship with CCHA has been a fantastic experience. I’ve been able to learn new skills, gain valuable work experience and receive support from colleagues across the organisation. I’d encourage anyone interested in an apprenticeship or a new career opportunity to come along and have a chat with the team."  

The Carlisle Careers Fair will take place at the Crown & Mitre Hotel, Carlisle, on Wednesday 26 August from 10am to 2pm. Anyone interested in finding out more about careers at CCHA is encouraged to visit the stand, meet the team and ask questions about current and future opportunities.
