Support our communities. See the difference you can make in our city.

At One Manchester we are on an incredible journey to shape our future. The Homes team have recently gone through a restructure, as we have refocused our energy and changed our processes so we can better support our customers and do what matters to them most. As a result, we have a number of exciting new roles which have become available.

You’ll carry out work with a strong focus on delivering excellent customer service, adopting a 'Right First Time' approach by completing repairs in a single visit wherever practicable, while maintaining consistently high standards of quality and performance.

You’ll undertake the duties of a multi-skilled operative, carrying out a wide range of repair and associated works across the full repairs service on all One Manchester owned and managed properties. The role involves visiting both tenanted and vacant properties to complete maintenance, repair, refurbishment and renewal works.

What we’re looking for:

• Completed a recognised trade apprenticeship or equivalent NVQ Level 2 qualification.
• Hold, or be willing to work towards, a fire safety qualification (e.g. BMTrada or FIRAS accreditation).
• Demonstrable competency in joinery (core trade) with additional experience in plumbing, plastering and tiling.
• Awareness of Awaabs law and treatment of mould patches up to 1sqm.
• Working knowledge of relevant health and safety legislation and CDM regulations.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience working in a customer-facing role, delivering high-quality customer service.
• Full UK driving licence.
