About the role 

You will ensure the condition of the building is maintained to a high standard and liaise with the Home Manager and Senior Manager – Estates, regarding internal maintenance work and external contractor works (planned, reactive and emergency). You will complete basic health and safety, fire, electrical and appliance checks, reporting all faults and carry out any small-scale decoration of bedrooms and some common areas, when required. 

Who we are looking for 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual who can demonstrate a range of skills to ensure our home is maintained to the highest standards in a safe and efficient, practical manner.
