A typical week as a Multi- skilled Trades Person
* Start your weekby checking and topping up your van stock-making sure you've got the right tools and materials to get the job done without unnecessary trips to suppliers.
* In empty properties, you'll carry out improvement works to get homes ready for new tenants-bringing your joinery skills to kitchens, doors, and fittings, and supporting with plumbing or groundwork as required.
* You'll take on a variety of joinery tasks, from repairing doors and fitting kitchen units to resealing windows and making homes safe and secure. While your core trade is joinery, you'll also support with minor plumbing jobs-like replacing taps, fixing leaks, or installing sinks and bathroom fittings.
* Your day-to-day will be around our empty homes, however you may be asked to attend scheduled appointments in our customers homes, working alongside other trades to complete repairs efficiently. Whether it's a loose door, damaged skirting, or a patch of plaster that needs attention, you'll be ready to tackle it.
* You'll work cleanly and respectfully-using PPE, dust sheets, and overshoes to protect the property and show care for the customer's home.
* Communication is key-you'll keep planners and team leaders updated through our housing system, making sure records are accurate and tenants are kept informed.
* You'll carry out on-the-spot risk assessments and report any safety concerns immediately. You'll also keep an eye out for issues like damp, mould, tenancy fraud, or safeguarding concerns.
* Your role may also include supporting wider estate maintenance-helping with brickwork, external repairs, or groundwork when needed.
* You'll also be part of the emergency rota-responding to urgent repairs out-of-hours to help keep homes safe and secure.
