We’re doing everything we can to  make sure that we’re building our workforce from local residents for the construction period of Poplar Baths and Dame Colet project.

Agency Workers

We’re working with Skillsmatch to find temporary labour through local agencies, as well as distributing posters and leaflets.

Local Recruitment

Look out for Guildmore and Skiilsmatch at local jobs fairs organised in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. We’ll be running two workshops to improve the chances for local residents to access jobs at the development We’re here to to help applicants complete forms, update CVs, or prepare for an interview.

Interview Procedure

We commit to making sure that a local resident is interviewed for at least 1 in every 6 jobs that we advertise.

 Local Training – during construction period

We’ll provide training for young local residents to help broaden everyone’s understanding of the construction industry.

Work Placements

We’re providing work placements to increase the skills and experience of local residents. That includes school students, school leavers, unemployed adults undergraduate and graduate students within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. We’re also looking to help people who want to returnr to work or who are looking for a career change.

These work placements will be both professional placements on-site or manual placements/

We’ll also shortlist organisations who specialise in helping people in the community who may have difficulties accessing employment opportunities. We’re doing all we can to offer opportunites and work placements to help single parents get back into work, or encourage people with disabilities to discover the workplace.

Apprenticeships

Were also going to employ yapprentices through Skillsmatch and the National Apprenticeship Service. These apprentices will be working as receptionists, managing accounts and other parts of construction. We will choose our apprentices carefully for their skills and commitment and support them throughout their training.

Local Suppliers and Subcontractors

We’re making every effort to employ competitivesuppliers and Sub-Contractors from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Look out for opportunities through the Council’s Economic Development team.

We will take part in participate in general ‘Meet The Buyer’ events or run our own event giving local businesses an opportunity to understand our opportunities. We’ll also do all we can to assist local suppliers and sub-Contractors to complete any necessary documentation. There will be a workshop to help and advise local suppliers/Sub-Contractors on how to complete the necessary documentation.

 Educational Activities

Guildmore are looking forward to taking part in local activities that will help improve young people’s employability as well as their understanding of construction. These activities will aim to incorporate as many young people and local residents as possible.

Look out for ‘digger days’ with local primary children, site visits, Health and Safety talks, school visits and more.

We’ll also offer workshops to secondary schools in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets through a programme called Business Language Champions to encourage young people to understand the importance of modern foreign languages in the world of business.

Our educational programmes will be tailored or built on existing programmes that are currently run by the Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership, including:

  • reading
  • volunteering
  • mock interviews
  • Boss Days

As schools focus more on the vocational curriculum, Guildmore will offer support to local schools and colleges by providing relevant site visits and presentations. We’ll also try to help through site visits, health and safety talks or giving plans of buildings to use as case studies.

Throughout the entire development we will orgainse site visits at regular intervals with both primary, secondary and college students.

Above all, we aim to encourage the community of Tower Hamlets to make the most of all the opportunities that we can provide to work, learn and enjoy this amazing local development.
