Job Advert

Do you want a role where your organisation and care can make a real difference to people’s homes and lives?

The Retired Ministers Housing Society (RMHS) exists to assist retired and retiring ministers with their housing needs, providing homes suitable for long-term occupation. We manage around 260 properties, delivering a supportive, resident-focused service by coordinating inspections, repairs, and ongoing maintenance, while keeping our homes safe, compliant, energy-efficient and fit for the future.

We are looking for a Repairs & Maintenance Officer to join our small, dedicated, and friendly team. In this role, you will be at the heart of our service, coordinating day-to-day repairs and maintenance and acting as the central point of contact for our residents. You will work closely with surveyors and contractors to ensure inspections, cyclical compliance checks, and planned works are completed promptly and to a high standard.

We are looking for someone who is organised, calm and solution focused, with strong administrative and IT skills and a reassuring, empathetic approach. A-level education (or equivalent experience) is required and experience in housing repairs and maintenance is an advantage.

We offer a supportive, flexible working environment where your contribution genuinely matters. Hybrid working can be discussed and you will have the satisfaction of knowing your work makes a real difference.

If you are motivated by helping others, enjoy coordinating projects, and want to work in a role with real purpose, we would love to hear from you.
