Turn a house into a home
Have you got some skills or experience in construction and are you aiming to get back to work?
Train with the Latch refurbishment team and you’ll get on-the-job training in a range of areas. Depending on when you join the project, this could include joinery, kitchen and bathroom fitting, insulating, plastering and more.
Being a part of our friendly team is a great way to gain work experience and confidence. Whether you already have tons of experience or you’re just starting out, turning run-down empty houses into quality homes will give you a real sense of satisfaction.
We can even help you get your CSCS card, so it’s definitely worth doing!
