We currently have a fulfilling opportunity for a Maintenance Officer in our residential care home for older people in Leicester.
The Role
The Maintenance Officers play a key role in the smooth running of our care home. Outside contractors are only used where absolutely necessary, so you will need a good level of practical skill, including basic plumbing, electrical and carpentry, as well as general maintenance skills for looking after the home and the grounds. Maintenance Officers also look after health and safety records, conduct fire tests, as well as fire training and health & safety training for all staff.
About the Evington Home
The Evington Home is about three miles from Leicester city centre and offers residential care, as well as providing dementia care. The Evington Home has 30 rooms, the majority of which have either garden or park views. See our beautiful home here.
