The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out high-quality internal and external plastering, rendering, patch repairs and making‑good works across a mixture of occupied and void residential properties. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled Plasterer looking for a stable, long‑term position with an established organisation that places a strong emphasis on quality workmanship, customer service, training and internal progression.

The Role

As a Plasterer, you will undertake a varied programme of repairs and maintenance works across residential properties, ensuring that all work is completed to a high standard and provides a durable, professional finish. You will work within both occupied homes and void properties, meaning you will need to combine strong technical ability with a professional and respectful approach when dealing with residents.

The role will involve everything from smaller patch repairs and making‑good works through to larger plastering and rendering requirements. You will be expected to take ownership of your jobs, complete works efficiently and aim to achieve a first‑time fix wherever possible. You will also work alongside other trades and the wider repairs team, often carrying out making‑good works following plumbing, electrical or other maintenance activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out internal and external plastering and rendering repairs.
• Undertake plaster repairs to walls, ceilings and other internal surfaces.

• Prepare surfaces appropriately before applying plaster and finishing materials.
• Repair damaged, cracked or defective plasterwork.
• Complete work to a consistently high standard, ensuring clean and professional finishes.
• Undertake associated minor works such as tiling, painting, sealing and making good where required.
• Diagnose the extent of repair works required and select appropriate materials and techniques.
• Complete jobs within agreed timescales and specifications.
• Maintain a clean and safe working environment within residents' homes.
• Record completed works, materials and relevant job information using a mobile/PDA system.

About You

The ideal candidate will be an experienced Plasterer with a background in repairs, maintenance, social housing, property services or a similar residential environment. You will take genuine pride in your workmanship and be capable of producing clean, smooth and durable finishes across a variety of plastering and repair requirements.

As you will regularly work within occupied homes, you will also need to demonstrate a professional and customer‑focused approach. You should be comfortable communicating with residents, explaining works where appropriate and treating people's homes with care and respect.

The successful candidate will ideally have

• NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 / City & Guilds in Plastering, or an equivalent recognised qualification.
• Proven experience working as a Plasterer within a repairs and maintenance environment.
• Strong practical experience in patch plastering, bonding and skimming.
• Experience of making good following other trades.
• Knowledge of internal and external plastering/rendering techniques.
• Experience working within occupied residential properties.
• A full UK manual driving licence with no more than six points.
• Asbestos Awareness certification.
• CSCS card preferred.
• DBS clearance, or willingness to undergo the required checks.

Package & Benefits

• Van & fuel card
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.

• Genuine opportunities for internal progression and promotion.
• The security of working for an established national property services organisation.
