At Shaw Healthcare, we know that a well-maintained environment is essential to delivering exceptional care. As the UK's largest employee-owned healthcare company and a proud Real Living Wage Employer, we value every colleague and recognise the important part they play in enhancing the lives of our residents.
We're looking for a reliable, skilled and caring Maintenance Operative to join our team at Ty Bryngoleu.
This is more than a maintenance role. You'll help create a safe, welcoming and dementia-friendly home where residents can live comfortably, families feel reassured, and colleagues have the environment they need to provide outstanding care.
About The Role
Working closely with the Home Manager, you'll be responsible for maintaining the home, its grounds and essential systems to the highest standard. Your work will directly support the wellbeing, comfort and safety of our residents, ensuring the home remains a pleasant place to live and work.
You'll carry out planned and reactive maintenance, oversee contractors, complete health and safety checks, and respond promptly to repairs while always considering the needs of residents, particularly those living with dementia.

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.

- Participate in emergency call-outs where required.
- Support residents' outings by driving the home's minibus (where appropriately licensed and required).
