Job description

About The Role

HC-One is looking for a Maintenance Operative with solid experience in maintenance, building, DIY, cleaning and housekeeping. You’ll also need technical knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, as well as ideally some IT skills.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You must recognise signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

We’ll provide full training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new.

• Award‑winning learning and development and support to achieve qualifications.
• GP online – a service providing around the clock GP consultation via an interactive app available to you and your children under 16.

• Colleague discounts – access to over 1,600 high‑street discounts including carefully selected discount partners.
• Wellbeing – free confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7 365 support for a whole range of issues including physical, mental and financial issues.
