City West Works, part of City West Housing Trust, is home to our Skills Centre and our new Repairs Service Centre.

The City West Works Skills Programme - what's it all about?
The Skills and Development Team work with our partners to ensure the money we invest in improving our homes also creates local jobs and provides construction skills training opportunities for people across West Salford. We have recently appointed the contractors who will be helping us to improve our homes and communities. Our contractors have made a firm commitment to employ local trainees to make the improvements.
From August 2009 for every £2 million spent by City West, our contractors will create 3 jobs for local people.
How does it work?
Once we have allocated work to the contractors we will identify which jobs they have available. There will be a wide range of jobs from window fitters to heating engineers, kitchen fitters to customer liaison officers.
The jobs will be advertised in the local area; our housing offices, our website and throughout the community.
If you are successful you will be employed by the contractors from day 1, complete a 2 week training programme with City West and then start work with your new employer.
"We need more City West’s in this world. They made a commitment to make a difference, to break down the barriers, to help women into construction and they are most definitely delivering those promises. Their passion, drive and enthusiasm is inspirational and infectious." Simon Weston OBE
