Your Trade Skills. Our Homes. Repairs Customers Can Rely On.
A repair done right first time makes a real difference to someone's home. As a Multi-Trade Operative at Curo, you'll be the person who makes that happen.
You'll join our Repairs team, travelling to customers' homes across Bath, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. No two days are the same. One job might be a leaking pipe, the next a sticking uPVC door, a rotten window frame or a kitchen installation.
You don't need a social housing background. If you're a qualified tradesperson from private construction, maintenance or a similar field, your skills will be put to good use here.
What You'll Be Doing
- Finding the cause of building defects and carrying out the right repair
- Using your carpentry, plumbing, wet trades, decorating, glazing and metalwork skills
- Repairing uPVC doors and windows
- Working with colleagues on full kitchen installations
- Checking each job for risks before you start and following our safety procedures, including our asbestos procedure
- Explaining your work clearly to customers and keeping them informed
- Flagging anything you spot on a job that could affect our customers or homes
- Keeping the van stocked, recording materials used and logging your work on a phone or tablet
- Looking after tools, equipment and vehicles
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.
What You'll Get In Return
Beyond a competitive salary of £36,490 and the chance to make a real difference every day, you'll get:
- Company van and fuel card for business use
- Paid overtime
- Tools or a tool allowance
- Uniform and PPE
- Up to 10% matched pension contribution
- 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years
- Your birthday off as an extra holiday
- Mobile phone or tablet for business use
- Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for your own wellbeing
