That could mean fixing a leaky tap one minute and planting some new bulbs the next.

We'll also need you to liaise with contractors on jobs that fall outside the expertise of your team.

With hands-on experience of property maintenance, you'll have at least one trade skill and, ideally, a proven ability to undertake a wide range of maintenance tasks. You should be reliable and flexible when it comes to your working hours. This role also calls for a full UK driving licence, IT literacy, and GCSEs in Maths and English (or equivalent).

REWARDS PACKAGE
In return for your dedication, you'll receive a competitive rate of pay plus our sector-leading benefits and rewards package including:

  1. Free training and development for all roles
  2. Access to wellbeing and support tools
  3. A range of retail discounts and savings
  4. Unlimited referrals with our 'Refer a Friend' bonus scheme
