About the role

Are you passionate about making a real difference while putting your practical skills to good use?

Role

This is a great opportunity to contribute very practically to Bethany by maintaining safe buildings where we can run services for the people we support and raise vital funds for the work we do. Our buildings need constant attention, and we are looking for someone with the passion and skills to help maintain these properties. The role is based in Edinburgh and involves travel throughout the Central Belt.

As a Maintenance Officer, you will join a small team that responds to maintenance requests and organises repairs. You will have practical property maintenance experience and a broad working knowledge of general trade tasks. You will be able to carry out basic carpentry and joinery tasks, minor plumbing repairs, painting and decorating, and be able to assess and problem-solve repairs. Knowledge of homelessness or other needs of the people we support is a bonus.

We are committed to helping our employees flourish personally and professionally. Below are a few examples of the ways we support our employees.

  • Bethany provides 30 days of annual leave initially to all contracted staff, rising to a maximum of 40 days depending on length of service.
  • Bethany provides enhanced payments for maternity, paternity, and adoption.
  • Bethany operates a company pension scheme to which all staff are auto-enrolled, with the option to opt out. We will match any staff member’s pension contribution up to a maximum of 5%.
  • Bethany provides a death-in-service benefit scheme.
  • (Depending on the role) Bethany will offer optional clinical supervision in line with best practice, fully funded by Bethany.
