Who we are:

We provide quality, low-cost housing and play a wider role in making sure our residents thrive in their homes and benefit from living in healthy, sustainable communities.

About the department:

As one of our established and dedicated maintenance operatives within our team of 600, you will be part of an Asset Management department that prides itself on investing in our own people to deliver a first-class property-based service across the Group.

You will also be able to liaise well with colleagues and customers alike, to help us keep up effective, positive relationships with our residents, contractors and other partners.
