About the Role
Responsible for carrying out painting and decorating works within both occupied and void properties, ensuring homes are maintained to a safe, clean, and attractive standard. Every day will be different as you work across a variety of residential properties, completing both internal and external decorating projects while delivering a professional service to our residents.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Undertake painting and decorating works within occupied and vacant social housing properties
- Complete minor repairs to walls, ceilings, woodwork, and other surfaces as required prior to decoration
- Ensure all works are completed in accordance with quality standards, specifications, and timescales
Working independently and as part of a wider maintenance team, you'll take ownership of your jobs from start to finish, completing minor repairs where required and ensuring work areas are left clean, safe, and tidy. You'll also identify and report any additional repair needs, helping us deliver a proactive and efficient service to our customers.

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.
