River Clyde Homes has revealed plans to recruit 70 new full time and seasonal jobs in Inverclyde.

The new roles are part of the housing association's aim to grow its business activities by bringing more services 'in house' and by building more homes.

Over the next five years, the company plans to spend almost £100 million to improve lives and places in Inverclyde.

Christopher McEleny, Chair of the River Clyde Homes Personnel Committee, said: "This is great news for Inverclyde as I'm sure many of the new jobs will be of interest to local residents. By doing more environmental and planned maintenance works ourselves, and by developing additional services for our customers, we have been able to create a significant number of new work opportunities, particularly for those with skilled trades.

"This news also underlines our commitment to 'every penny counts'. Bringing more work 'in house' saves money as well as provide local jobs. The money saved will be invested in new and better services for our customers, will contribute to improving existing homes and in building new homes."
