About the Role
You will play a vital role in maintaining and improving the quality of homes and buildings across the community.

As the face of the Council’s repairs service, your ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, and treat residents with respect is as important as your technical skills.
You will also help shape the future of the service by mentoring apprentices, sharing your knowledge, and staying up to date with the latest regulations and best practices. From safeguarding and asbestos awareness to working at heights and lone working, you will be expected to uphold the highest standards of health and safety in all tasks.
