This role is being advertised as Multi Trade Operative but on appointment your job title will be Multi Trade Technician.
About The Role
We're looking for skilled and versatile Multi Traders to join our Direct Services team, helping us deliver a high-quality repairs and maintenance service to our residents.
Reporting to a Lead Technician, you'll work within our Reactive Repairs service, carrying out a wide range of repairs across our homes. This will include multi trade tasks such as basic plumbing, carpentry, patch plastering, tiling, and other general maintenance works.
You'll manage your own workload day to day, working efficiently to meet service targets and delivering work right first time. Customer satisfaction will be at the heart of everything you do, and you'll ensure residents are kept informed throughout the repair process.
This is a field-based role, and you'll be required to take part in a 24-hour emergency call out rota on a fair and planned basis.
About you
You're an experienced Multi Trader with a broad skillset and a strong customer focus. You're confident working independently across a range of repairs but also enjoy working as part of a team and supporting colleagues to deliver the best outcomes for residents.
