Job description

Multi-skilled Operative

Location: Macclesfield, Cheshire

Salary: £34,903.13

Working for a Housing Trust is rewarding in itself. Working for this Housing Trust means you'll be joining an award-winning repairs team with Great Spirit.

We are looking for two Multi-skilled Operatives to join our Repairs team to deliver a high quality and continuously improving repairs service to all the Trust's customers.

We can offer you:

• A minimum of 29 days holiday per year inclusive of Christmas shut down, (plus birthday leave and bank holidays).
• Attractive Defined Contribution Pension Scheme with Employer's contributions up to 12%
• A focus on your health and wellbeing including access to our Health Cash Plan offering a variety of benefits and discounts.
• Training and development. Let us know where you want to get to and we'll help you get there.

A van will be provided for you and a colleague to use for work purposes and therefore it would be beneficial to live within reasonable travelling distance to our offices in Macclesfield.

We are lucky to have a strong team of operatives who make sure that our customers are safe and warm in their homes.

To be successful in this role you will have a City & Guilds Building Trades Qualification or NVQ 3 qualification and proven experience across a range of different trades, including plastering, joinery and plumbing. You will also have experience of working within statutory guidelines within the construction industry. e.g. Health & Safety.

You will also require a full, clean driving licence. Experience of working within a Housing Association is desirable, though not essential.

Our Values are at the core of everything we do, so we are looking for someone whose values agree with ours and will embed these too.

If you would like to play a part in this talented and committed team, we'd love to hear from you.
