With hands‑on experience of property maintenance, you’ll have at least one trade skill and, ideally, a proven ability to undertake a wide range of maintenance tasks. You should be reliable and flexible in your working hours.
This role also calls for a full UK driving licence, IT literacy, and GCSEs in Maths and English (or equivalent).
In return for your dedication, you’ll receive a competitive rate of pay plus our sector‑leading benefits and rewards package, including:
And so much more!
