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.
