Some people see a broken tap. You see a chance to mend trust, uphold dignity, and the promote the quiet reassurance that everything works exactly as it should.

We’re looking for a skilled, detail-driven Maintenance Manager to take charge of the environment behind the exceptional care we provide at Connaught Care—a luxury, all-inclusive care home group reimagining later life with hospitality, elegance and heart.

With six beautifully designed homes already open and six more on the way, Connaught is one of the UK’s most ambitious care providers. But even the most luxurious surroundings rely on one thing: someone who knows exactly how they work—and what to do when they don’t.

That’s where you come in.

Oversee all aspects of building maintenance, facilities management and compliance across the home

Lead and manage the maintenance team, setting high standards and ensuring tasks are prioritised and completed efficiently

Carry out regular safety checks, risk assessments, and planned preventative maintenance

Ensure compliance with health & safety legislation, fire regulations, and all statutory requirements

Respond swiftly to maintenance requests, keeping the home running smoothly and safely

Manage contractor relationships, schedule external works, and monitor quality and cost

Maintain accurate records for audits, inspections, and ongoing compliance

What You’ll Bring:

(At least) a Level 2 in Building Maintenance is essential.

Proven experience in a facilities or maintenance management role (care, hospitality or hotel environments a plus)

Strong working knowledge of health & safety, compliance, and building systems

Excellent planning, problem-solving, and communication skills

Ability to manage a small team, balance workloads, and delegate effectively

A sense of pride in quiet excellence—the kind that makes people feel safe without needing to say why

A warm, resident-focused approach: you’ll understand that your work touches lives, even if you’re behind the scenes

Why Connaught?

At Connaught, we believe luxury isn’t just found in the chandeliers—it’s in the smooth opening of a door, the warmth of a room, the peace of knowing everything’s under control. As Maintenance Manager, you’ll be the guardian of that peace.

You’ll have the autonomy to lead, the support of a brilliant team, and a working environment that’s as rewarding as it is beautiful. And just like our residents, you’ll be supported to Live a Life More Extraordinary too—with access to development, recognition, and daily job satisfaction - oh, and a good pay packet to go with that!

If you’re the kind of person who takes pride in doing things properly, quietly, and with care—we’d love to hear from you.
