About Us

YMCA Bournemouth is part of a global organisation making a meaningful difference at a local level across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. We are committed to delivering inclusive, diverse, and forward-thinking services that respond to the needs of our community. Our work focuses on key areas including Housing and Support, Family and Relationships, Youth Work, Training and Education, and Health and Wellbeing. Through these services, we aim to empower individuals to reach their full potential in mind, body, and spirit.

About The Role

We are looking for a Plumber and Maintenance Worker to join our team.

As part of the Plumber and Maintenance Worker role, you will work within the Building Services department to ensure the YMCA Bournemouth estate is maintained to a high standard, working within management guidelines and ensuring all health and safety protocols are followed.

You will carry out commercial and domestic plumbing works across the Association, including basic maintenance and other trade duties as directed, such as basic carpentry, painting and decorating, and tiling.

This Role Will Involve

  • Repairing and installing new plumbing and sanitaryware across the YMCA Bournemouth estate.
  • Installing replacement sanitaryware, baths, shower trays, level decks, and associated equipment.
  • Installing new pipework (copper, Speedfit, waste, and rainwater systems).
  • Installing sundry items such as taps and ball valves.
  • Carrying out general building maintenance, including decorating, tiling, and other basic maintenance tasks.
  • Completing compliance checks, including fire doors, water management, and emergency lighting.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
