    PATH (Scotland) is offering a thirty-six month Positive Action Training Scheme, which has been specifically designed to redress the under-representation of black and minority ethnic communities in employment in Scottish Housing.  PATH works in collaboration with Local Authority Housing Departments and Registered Social Landlords across Scotland to provide our housing training opportunities.  This traineeship is in partnership with Disabled Persons Housing Service (Fife).

    At the end of the programme, trainees can compete for jobs in the Scottish Housing sector.

    Applicants should:

    • Be from Black and Minority Ethnic Communities and committed to a housing career
    • Be willing to undertake a demanding training and study programme over thirty-six months – 4 days’ work experience (between Monday and Friday) inclusive of 1 day’s attendance at college or university during the academic year.

    Applicants should have:

    • Excellent communication skills
    • A commitment to team work
    • Good customer service skills
