We currently have an opportunity available to join our Estates Team as a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Craftworker (Builder/Joiner) providing a full range of maintenance services across Trust sites.

The role offers a significant opportunity to contribute to the smooth functioning and maintenance of a range of engineering and building services in the Trust's clinical and non-clinical facilities. This role is critical to the Estates Department's maintenance support service and is demanding and varied as it covers a range of services.

In addition to your annual salary of £24,937 to £26,598, an additional payment of £3,500 per annum Recruitment & Retention Premia will be paid. You will also have the use of a Trust van. You will receive 27‑33 days annual leave plus bank holidays and the opportunity to join the NHS pension scheme.

Main duties of the job

Operating as a mobile Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Craftworker (Build­ing/Joiner), you will receive your work on a handheld device from the Estates and Facilities Helpdesk and Team Leader. You will be expected to prioritise your daily workload ensuring you complete the tasks in the given priority. The role will predominately include undertaking statutory and non‑statutory planned preventative maintenance (with training if required).

You will undertake multi‑skilled works to all Trust properties including working at heights and in adverse weather conditions, within your own competencies. You will be expected to demonstrate all aspects of the joinery discipline together with a flexible and conscientious approach to working.
