Overview
At Handicare, our purpose is simple but powerful: to make everyday life easier. We design, manufacture and install stairlifts and mobility solutions that help people live independently and safely in their own homes. We’re proud to be part of the Savaria Group, a global leader in accessibility solutions operating across North America, Europe and beyond.
Being part of a worldwide organisation brings long term stability, continued investment and real opportunities to grow your career – whether that’s developing technically, stepping into specialist roles or progressing into leadership. We’re a supportive, people‑focused business that values initiative, teamwork and doing the right thing for our customers.
Position
We’re recruiting a Field Service Engineer to join our team, covering Brentwood, Romford, Essex, NE London and surrounding areas. This role is ideal if you’ve worked in a hands‑on, practical environment and are comfortable using tools, fault‑finding and working independently. Experience involving electrical work, joinery, mechanical tasks or installation based roles is beneficial and full training is provided.
You’ll spend your day installing, servicing and repairing our stairlifts in customers’ homes. Just as important as technical ability is your drive to do a great job, manage your own workload and deliver a positive, professional customer experience. This is a role for someone who enjoys owning their day, planning their time effectively and pushing themselves to succeed. A full, clean driving licence is required as you’ll be travelling within your region, and you’ll take part in a 1 in 4 on‑call rota, with additional payments for call‑outs.
