Job description

Are you used to making a difference and from a repairs, building maintenance or construction background? If the answer is yes, then please read on..

Trust is a not-for-profit registered social landlord, regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator, Care Inspectorate and Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR). We are a national organisation and one of the largest housing, support and care providers in Scotland offering a range of housing and support services across the length and breadth of the country. Trust was established in 1973 and has now evolved and grown to 4000 homes and delivering services to over 4,000 customers.

Our wide range of services - from landlord only - to care and support - are flexible and tailored to the needs of individuals. This allows our customers to live independently with an enhanced quality of life, and their families to have peace of mind.

The organisation and our people are customer focussed, delivering value for money and developing innovative solutions to enhance the customer experience. We are committed through our values to empower and support our people. Our culture is caring, involving and compassionate – but we are also focused on making change happen and delivering results.

We are looking for a new Reactive Repairs & Maintenance Inspector to join our growing Assets & Sustainability Team. The postholder will ensure high-quality reactive repairs and maintenance services ensuring that our customer’s homes are maintained to a high standard and are compliant with contractual, legislative, and regulatory requirements, whilst also providing a 10/10 customer experience.

The post will be part of our Blended Working Model involving home working, with regular visits to Trust housing stock on the Isle of Arran and any other operational requirements. Occasional working from any of our 3 office locations (Glasgow/Edinburgh/Wishaw) may also be required.

This position is advertised as full-time; however, applications from candidates seeking a part-time arrangement (3 or 4 days per week) will be considered for those based locally. Applicants wishing to be considered for the part-time option should clearly indicate this within their application.

This role is for someone who is used to making a difference, enjoys a challenge, and welcomes the opportunity to contribute widely. 2026 will be a very exciting time to join Trust as we continue to implement our new corporate strategy ‘Ready Together’ which is built around three connected strategic themes. The strategy will be guided by our purpose, values and core pillars - financial sustainability, net zero, governance and compliance. Growth, technology, data and responsible use of AI will all help us deliver the strategy.

In return for your talent and commitment as Reactive Repairs & Maintenance Inspector we will offer you:

• 35 hours per week
• Competitive salary of £41,925 - £45,332 FTE
• Monthly Car Allowance of £509 per month
• Flexi time
• Access to paid training & continuing personal development
• Paid professional fees
• A choice of pension scheme with employer contributions
• Generous holiday entitlement
• A supportive and caring working environment

If you have the skills and experience needed for this role, we’d love to hear from you.

Applications should be submitted no later than 12 noon on Wednesday 7 October 2026.

Interviews will be held in our Office in Edinburgh on Friday 23 October 2026.

Trust is committed to fair, inclusive and values-led recruitment. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK, as we cannot provide sponsorship for this role. This role requires PVG Scheme membership and/or an appropriate Disclosure check, and any offer will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks.
