Our residential home is in the beautiful High Peak, providing high quality Residential, Respite and Dementia care for 36-residents.

We’re looking for a Maintenance Assistant who’s ready to take charge of ensuring our building and equipment are always in top condition, creating a safe and comfortable environment for our residents and staff.

• Light Maintenance: From replacing light bulbs to general upkeep, no task is too small when it contributes to the comfort of our residents.
• Safety First: Regular checks of safety systems, like fire alarms, will be part of your routine to ensure everyone’s well-being.
• Building Care: You’ll inspect and repair any damages to building surfaces, keeping our spaces looking their best.
• Project Participation: Get involved in various projects, including exciting renovations that improve our facilities.
• Collaborative Reporting: Work closely with our facilities or maintenance manager to address any larger issues.
• Uphold Standards: Ensure that all work meets our high standards of quality, health, and safety.
• Flexibility: Occasional evening and weekend work may be required based on the home’s needs, and you’ll be on-call for any emergencies.

Our care home is part of Care Concern Group; a market leading, family-owned care group operating close to 80 homes across the UK. We are passionate about creating fantastic care homes for our residents to live in and a supportive and fun environment for our team to work in.
