Labourer - Empty Homes
Mobile across North Yorkshire.
Permanent & Full time (37 hours)
Company vehicle for business use and commuting.
We have an exciting opportunity to become part of our Empty Homes Team. Come and be part of a passionate team that takes real pride in producing homes where our customers can put down roots.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you'll be moving between properties, carrying out everything from heavy-duty builders cleans to the final sparkle clean that gives our customers a house to put down roots.
What you'll be doing:
A typical day might include working in an empty property that's just had repair or refurbishment work completed. There's often dust, debris, and leftover materials to deal with, so you'll roll up your sleeves and get stuck into a full builder's clean clearing waste, putting a bit of elbow grease into those tough areas where there may be residue from previous works, and giving the whole property a thorough top-to-bottom clean.
You'll also be working alongside multi-skilled colleagues to assist with work such as filling, painting patches, external works such as gutter cleaning and garden works. Some jobs will call for a bit more physical effort too, whether that's shifting materials, removing bulky items left behind, supporting with heavy lift and installing loft installation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A key part of the role is getting those homes ready for handover. This is where the sparkle clean comes in, adding those finishing touches that make all the difference. You'll be polishing fittings, cleaning internal windows, and making sure every room looks fresh, clean, and welcoming. It's about attention to detail and taking pride in leaving a home in the best possible condition.
