Estates and Facilities Operative

Salary: £28,305 per annum

Location: Evesham and Gloucestershire with travel.

We’re looking for an Estates and Facilities Operative to help keep our estates, blocks, schemes and offices safe, clean and well maintained.

This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll work both as part of a team and independently, solving problems quickly and helping to create great places for our customers to live.

What you’ll do

• Carry out regular health and safety checks in communal areas.
• Test fire safety equipment such as emergency lighting, smoke detectors and fire alarms, keeping accurate records and reporting any faults promptly.
• Complete minor maintenance tasks, including repairing banisters, fixing locks and door handles, putting up signage, minor decorating and making trip hazards safe.
• Carry out handyperson-type tasks in customers’ homes and schemes when requested.
• Provide deep cleaning services using equipment such as jet washers and carpet cleaners.
• Carry out litter picking and tidy external areas.
• Liaise with external contractors to make sure repairs and maintenance are completed.
• Support the Health, Safety & Facilities Manager to ensure compliance.

About you

You’ll bring:

• An understanding of health and safety requirements.
• Ideally, experience in a similar role.
• The ability to carry out minor maintenance tasks.
• Confidence using mobile devices to record inspections, and using Microsoft Office.
• Accuracy and attention to detail when completing inspection forms.
• Excellent customer service and good verbal communication skills.
• The ability to work on your own initiative and organise and prioritise your own workload.
• An understanding of the importance of professional boundaries.

Experience of compliance testing, or of working to health and safety practices such as COSHH and manual handling, would be an advantage but isn’t essential.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds.

A few practical bits

• You’ll need a full, current driving licence and use of your own vehicle, insured for business use.
• An enhanced DBS check is required.
• There will be travel across our locations, including Evesham and Gloucestershire.
• Flexibility is key: we work together to get things done.
