Job description

The Role

We are currently looking to expand our Repairs and Maintenance Team. The post holder must have an NVQ Level 3 or equivalent certificate in Plastering. The department is responsible for carrying out responsive and planned maintenance works, as well as void management works, on Lancaster City Council’s housing and non-housing stock. To improve service levels, meet performance targets, and increase the workforce, we are recruiting a Plasterer/Tiler.

A full current driving licence is essential. The post holder will need to work across the district, travelling between locations within the Council’s designated area. You will be required to sign up for the external DVLA licence validation service used to monitor employee driving licences.

The successful candidate will be subject to a basic Disclosure & Barring Service check.

This is a permanent position based at White Lund Depot.
