Undertake general void property repairs and refurbishment works to a high standard, working to void turnaround targets.
Carry out minor multi-trade tasks as required, including basic plastering, tiling, and decorating.
Complete accurate job records, timesheets and reports using a mobile device/handheld system.
Identify additional repair works required and report these through the correct channels.
Work safely and in compliance with health and safety regulations and safe working practices at all times.
Liaise professionally with colleagues, supervisors and, where required, residents and other stakeholders. WHAT OUR CLIENT LOOKING FOR
Proven experience as a multi-skilled tradesperson within social housing, property maintenance, or void works.
Strong, demonstrable experience in carpentry and plumbing specifically, alongside a good general all-round trade ability.
A relevant trade qualification (e.g. NVQ Level 2/3 in Carpentry, Plumbing, or a related discipline) is desirable, though strong practical experience will be considered.
Full UK driving licence, essential for travel across the local patch.
Ability to work independently, manage your own workload, and meet void turnaround targets.
A flexible, can-do attitude and comfortable working across a variety of property types and job sizes. INDL
