Your daily tasks will include collecting and delivering materials, supporting tradespeople on-site, and maintaining clean and safe workshops and buildings. You will contribute to delivering repairs right the first time, ensuring high standards of quality and efficiency while minimising disruption to residents. A strong focus on health and safety is essential, including safeguarding, lone working, asbestos awareness, manual handling, and COSHH compliance.

Effective communication with residents, supervisors, and planners is key to meeting service objectives. You will also be responsible for the safe use and upkeep of tools, materials, and Council vehicles, along with accurate and timely completion of all required documentation. This role demands initiative, adaptability, and a commitment to delivering excellent service every day.
