ABOUT THE ROLE

With this investment into our property, we need more people with the right mix of skills and passion to ensure that our homes are kept well maintained and safe.

As the Handy Person you’ll take pride in the Home that you maintain, including the surrounding gardens. You’ll soon get to know our residents and their families and will let them get involved in helping you to maintain their home. You’ll be responsible for key tasks such as the maintenance of heating and lighting, the overall fabric of the building, regular checks on the boiler and water systems and completing all relevant health and safety checks.

ABOUT MELKSHAM GARDENS

Melksham Gardens is a brand-new, purpose-built 80-bed care home on Longleaze Lane, due to open in 2027. The home will provide residential, dementia and nursing care, alongside respite and day care services.

Designed around residents’ comfort, wellbeing and independence, the home will offer luxury en-suite bedrooms, including suites for couples, alongside private dining spaces, a cinema, gym, activities room, hair salon, wellness spa and dedicated family suite.

Depending on the progress of the home, you may join us during the preparation and mobilisation period or as we welcome our first residents. Your exact start date may therefore be subject to change and could be later than initially anticipated.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have experience in a similar maintenance role with strong practical skills. You may also have a Level 2 or 3 NVQ in Facilities Services (or equivalent) but this is not essential.

Confident working on your own initiative, and with a positive attitude and good communication skills, you’ll prioritise your work schedules to meet the needs of the Home and its residents and be committed to providing a well-maintained environment for everyone who lives and works in the home.
