About the role
We are looking for a genuine all-rounder with good customer service skills to join our friendly maintenance team. Your workload will be extremely varied as you help to maintain one of our sites in Cheltenham.
No two days will be the same as you undertake planned maintenance work which could involve painting, dealing with dripping taps, fixing faulty extractor fans to repairing kitchen cupboards. You will need to be a self-starter as more often than not you will be working independently. As you will be expected to travel between various sites being able to drive is essential for this role.
It is likely that you will have undertaken a similar maintenance role in the past and that you will have practical DIY/maintenance skills and a working knowledge of relevant health and safety legislation. There is huge potential to learn new skills in this hugely rewarding role, which will provide opportunities to bring you into contact with a wide variety of appreciative staff, students and residents.
Apply today and utilise your practical maintenance skills to best effect and feel valued for your contribution to our charity.
Hours are 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year
