• Conducting preventative maintenance checks and identifying potential issues before they become major problems
• Basic carpentry, plumbing, painting, patching, and repair work
• Assembly, installation, and replacement of fixtures, fittings, and equipment

• Previous experience in a facilities, maintenance, trade assistant, or handyman role
• Strong general maintenance and repair skills
• Ability to confidently assess issues and find practical solutions
• Good communication skills and a professional approach when working across different sites
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities
• Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering quality work

Trade qualifications are highly regarded but not essential for the right candidate with strong hands-on experience.

Why Work With Us?

• Full-time hours with job stability and consistent work
• Opportunity to work across multiple sites and facilities
• Join a supportive team that values reliability, initiative, and quality workmanship
• Be part of a growing organisation where your skills make a direct impact
