of the role
Working with us as a Multi Trade Operative, you’ll know that what you do matters. We get to see our impact and the improvement we provide to our residents every day; which is only possible because of the great teams and people we work with.
We are a progressive and ambitious maintenance team; you will have the opportunity to take responsibility for your own workload and deliver first class reactive repairs to a wide range of properties. What is equally as important is the ability to take responsibility to ensure tasks are completed and the willingness to work in and as a team to deliver a great service. We have exciting growth plans and want people who are equally as ambitious as we are.
What do we offer:
Key duties
The works will include a bit of everything from touch up paintwork, fencing repairs, changing light bulbs, unblocking toilets and finding where a leak is coming from, adjusting heating, moving furniture, measuring up windows and doors, fitting fire doors, replacing kitchen cupboard doors, finding a fuse box, repairing damaged walls, fitting new fixtures and fittings and laying the odd vinyl floor tile or two.
8 hours shift per day, Monday to Friday with core hours 10am to 3pm and a compulsory 7 nights Out of Hours emergency cover per month, paid at a standby and hourly rate.
Personal attributes
The majority of jobs will be in occupied residences so you’ll need to work with Operations staff to ensure your time is planned efficiently. Our reactive work is Multi Trade with a strong bias towards ensuring properties are to a liveable standard and suitable for our client base – that means problem solving, thinking on your feet and not walking away until it’s safe, and liveable.
What are the benefits?*
*minimum service periods and apprenticeship funding eligibility applicable to some benefits
