Recruitment drive as confidence in housing market grows

A major recruitment drive has been launched by a leading regional housebuilder as they lay the foundations for a strong 2014.

Greater levels of mortgage lending, growing consumer confidence and the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme have all contributed to a rise in sales in the housing market on a national scale.

Persimmon Homes recently reported a 21% jump in full-year revenues and now its East Midlands region is looking ahead to the next 12 months with a positive outlook based on its achievements.

They are currently building across 18 sites in the region, with more developments in the pipeline. In order to keep up with demand, Persimmon Homes East Midlands has now launched a recruitment drive for trainee sales advisors.

Adrian Evans, managing director for Persimmon Homes East Midlands, said: “Due to the improving housing market and the start of a number of new developments, we are looking to appoint trainees. I need people with a great personality, who want to succeed and do something with their lives.

“Nationally there is a shortage of construction workers, but we have a great team here and are looking for talented people to join us. The positions offer excellent career opportunities, as well as attractive remuneration packages and other benefits. “Anyone applying to us will know that they can have a good career with us and finding someone genuine is important to us.”

Persimmon Homes East Midlands has already seen its existing developments prove popular, with sites throughout Cambridgeshire, East Northamptonshire and South Lincolnshire.

Adrian added: “There are some very exciting months ahead for us in this region. We have always believed in investing in skills and we know that the East Midlands is full of people that pride themselves on doing an excellent job and we want to hear from them.”
