Job description

About The Role

As a Maintenance Operative you will make sure our Residents live in a place that is proactively inspected and brilliantly maintained at all times.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You must recognise signs that may indicate abuse, harm or neglect, know what to do if concerns arise, attend safeguarding training appropriate to your role, and seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

Training & Benefits

We’ll provide full training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new. In return you will enjoy access to a huge variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well‑being and throughout your career as a Maintenance Operative we will invest in you. Additional support and benefits include:

• Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications.
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• During a shift of eight hours or more a nutritious meal will be available
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream – financial wellbeing and flexible access to pay as you need it
• 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
• An opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues as part of an outstanding and committed team.
• Colleague discounts – access to over 1,600 high‑street discounts including carefully selected discount partners.
• Wellbeing – free of charge access to an independent and confidential Employee Assistance Programme, giving colleagues and their families 24/7 365 support for a range of physical, mental and financial issues.
• Excellent recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards.
• An attractive referral‑a‑friend scheme of up to £1,000 per referral, depending on the role.

We are passionate about ensuring that our current and future Colleagues can be their true selves, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve. We prioritise inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds into our HC‑One family, and we are committed to providing the quickest possible turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.
