We're looking for a reliable, practical and customer-focused Caretaker to help keep estates, communal spaces and neighbourhoods clean, safe and welcoming.

You'll spend your days out and about, working independently and as part of a team. You'll spot issues before they become problems, take pride in getting things done and provide a friendly, helpful service to residents, visitors and colleagues.
If you're someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being active and likes making a visible difference, this could be the role for you.

- Support recycling - manage bins, skips and waste, unblock chutes where required and encourage residents to recycle.
- Help prepare homes for letting - support void clearance, cleaning, gardening, minor repairs, painting and removal of unwanted items.
- Support energy efficiency - assist with home visits and heating system settings where required.
- Look after equipment - carry out routine vehicle and equipment checks and use tools and machinery safely.
- Keep accurate records - record work completed using manual or digital systems and report any tasks that cannot be completed.
