The project comprises three new services, each of which will provide employment and training opportunities for social housing residents. We are planning to commence recruitment for the Neighbourhood Repairs Service in June 2010. The Neighbourhood Repairs service will be delivered by Housing NSW in partnership with Fair Business, a not-for-profit organisation and Spotless, the head maintenance contractor for the area.

Neighbourhood Repairs Workers will be local social housing residents with an interest in undertaking a traineeship, gaining a trade qualification or using their existing qualification while receiving paid work. TAFE NSW will provide educational support and accredited training courses.

The project will operate from premises in Waterloo and will undertake routine maintenance work to public housing properties in the Inner City of Sydney.

Representatives from Housing NSW, Fair Business and Spotless will provide an overview of the service, discuss its success in Greater Western Sydney Division and advise you how to assist social housing residents who are interested in becoming a Neighbourhood Repairs worker.

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the project and recruitment processes.
