About the Role
We’re looking for a practical, customer-focused Handyperson to join our Retirement Living team, supporting older residents across Nottingham City Council Housing Services. In this varied role, you’ll carry out a range of minor repairs and maintenance tasks that help people settle into their homes and live safely and comfortably day to day - particularly where they may be unable to complete tasks themselves.

You’ll communicate sensitively with residents, keep accurate records, and ensure all work meets health, safety and safeguarding standards.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) can be a helpful tool when preparing your application. AI can guide you, but only your own words and experiences truly matter – we want to see the real you. All examples and statements must be your own, accurate, and reflect your true experience and values. AI tools do not understand context, think critically, or assess the reliability of information, which means AI-generated responses can feel generic and may not accurately represent who you are. We recruit fairly and inclusively – showing your real self is what helps you succeed.
