Join Our New Habitations Team – Be Part of the Change
The Role
We’re looking for skilled and versatile Habitation Technicians to join our team at Halton Housing. You’ll carry out a variety of repairs and maintenance across our housing stock, including responsive repairs, void property works, and planned improvements.
With your expertise in painting and plastering (and ideally additional skills in plumbing, joinery, brickwork, or flooring), you’ll play a key role in delivering a first-time fix service that puts our customers at the heart of everything we do.
We’re building a new proactive Habitations Team to tackle housing hazards early, effectively, and collaboratively. As part of our commitment to Awaab’s Law, this team will take preventative action to ensure no customer lives in unsafe or unhealthy conditions. From identifying damp and mould to responding quickly to concerns, we’re fixing issues at the source—before they escalate.
Key responsibilities include:
Complete repairs safely and to a high standard across occupied and empty homes
Manage your van, tools, and materials effectively
Work flexibly, including participation in an on-call rota
Use technology to update jobs and keep track of performance
Be the face of Halton Housing – providing a professional, friendly, and respectful service to customers from all walks of life
What We’re Looking For:
NVQ (or equivalent) in a core trade
Proven experience in painting and plastering, plus skills in other trades (desirable)
Strong customer service and communication skills
Understanding of Health & Safety at work
Ability to work independently and manage your workload effectively
Willingness to use IT systems (full training provided)
Why Join Us?
At Halton Housing, we value development and growth – your skills and salary will progress through our MT Tier System, recognising your competence across multiple trades. You’ll also be part of a supportive team making a real difference to our customers’ lives.
Closing date 26th August 2025
Interviews: Early September
If you’re passionate about delivering quality work and excellent customer service, we’d love to hear from you!
