What we’re looking for

We’re keen to hear from experienced multi-skilled operatives with strong expertise across a range of trades, particularly carpentry and plumbing. You’ll be someone who enjoys finding practical solutions, works well under your own initiative, and takes genuine pride in delivering excellent workmanship.

Most importantly, you’ll share our passion for putting customers first and helping to create safe, comfortable homes for the people we serve.

You’ll be joining a team that values collaboration, respect, and continuous improvement. We invest in our people, support career development and provide opportunities to build on your skills and experience.

Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll benefit from a company vehicle, tools and equipment, excellent benefits and the chance to be part of an organisation that’s making a positive difference across the South of England.

Ready to make an impact?
