About The Role

As a Senior Head of Maintenance at Barchester, you'll make sure we have clean and well-maintained environments so our residents feel at home and our staff can do their jobs well.

We'll look to you to support homes in your region with their resources, products, in-house skills and contractors to ensure they run efficiently. You can expect plenty of variety as a Senior Head of Maintenance with us. You could be pulling together a bank of local contractors one moment and discussing the budget for a refurbishment project with a General Manager the next. Across everything you do, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where first-class care and support can be delivered for our residents and their families will be your focus.

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.
