Forgewood Housing Cooperative is a forward thinking registered social landlord operating in the Motherwell locality. As a landlord we not only strive to provide top quality, affordable housing but also contribute significantly to the redevelopment of the area we work within.

Forgewood Housing Co-operative has a long standing staff sharing agreement with Garrion People’s Housing Co-operative (based in Gowkthrapple). Both co-ops own and operate modern community facilities in the heart of the communities we work within to assist us in the regeneration of the areas.

The posts will operate as part of our staff sharing agreement between the two co-ops and will work across both Forgewood and Gowkthrapple ensuring the community development activities are maintained and developed appropriately.

We are looking to recruit two temporary Community Development Assistants to assist with maintaining our current wider role activities and to develop new projects in response to the local needs of the local community.
