Karakusevic Carson Architects has been working with Hounslow Council for the past six months on a social housing project in Brentford Lock West. In late 2024, the company started recruiting a Programme Assistant to support the project. The nine-week role, running from February to April 2025, was specifically aimed at long-term unemployed residents looking to return to work.

The most beneficial part of this partnership is their network of job seekers in Hounslow. They tailored the job role for us, promoted it through their communications platform and used their system to select candidates with the right skills and experience.
