At Gentoo, we believe work experience should be more than just observing from the side lines. It should inspire, challenge, and open doors. That’s why we’re committed to creating meaningful, hands on experiences that help people grow while making a real difference to the communities we serve. 

Our work experience opportunities give you the chance to get involved, build real world skills, and see first hand how a large housing organisation operates. From supporting our corporate teams to working alongside colleagues in Property Maintenance and Housing, you’ll gain practical experience in areas that truly matter. 

Whether you’re: 

• exploring your career options 
• developing employability skills 
• or a Gentoo customer curious about how we work 

we’ll support you every step of the way. 

By joining us, you’ll: 

• gain insight into a wide range of careers and skills 
• develop confidence through hands on learning 
• understand how your work can positively impact communities 

Most importantly, you’ll play a part in helping us deliver on our promise to strengthen, support, and invest in the places people call home. 

If you want to be part of our community, please apply for a work experience placement here. 

We receive a high volume of enquiries and have limited capacity to offer work experience placements. To ensure any placement we provide is meaningful and helps individuals develop valuable skills, opportunities are offered on a limited basis and subject to availability.
