Providing Quality Housing

Tenants getting involved at the Consortium Workshop
A number of tenants work together with staff as part of the Consortium Maintenance Team. These tenants can be men or women.
These tenants visit tenant’s homes to help with the maintenance work; they get involved in painting, carpentry as well as gardening jobs.
The tenants receive expenses for their ‘Permitted Work’.
They also get hands on experience and training from experienced staff to help them gain the skills to be able to reach full working potential.
For some tenants this has led them to receive qualifications in the form of World of Work certificates issued by W.I.S.E. (Welsh Initiative for Supported Employment).
Over the years that this team has been working together, tenants have got a sense of pride in their work. They can see how other people appreciate the work they do.
They also get the feeling of being part of a working team that work very well together.
To find out more about being part of the Workshop Team please contact your Social Worker or the Consortium Maintenance Manager.
