About You

You'll have a good general knowledge of building and mechanical services and experience of a trade such as electrical work, carpentry or plumbing. You are used to keeping records and are happy to work without immediate supervision, staying calm under pressure and with a great eye for detail. You are a good communicator and will enjoy getting to know and conversing with our residents. We especially want to recruit people who share our goal of delivering excellence in person centred care and match our values: friendly, kind, individual, honest and reassuring. 

You must be a car driver to carry out the necessary duties of the post.
