Role Overview:
You will assist with the day-to-day maintenance tasks across the site, supporting the existing maintenance man.

o Repairing or coordinating repairs for lifts, doors, taps, and other fittings
o Laundry pickup and delivery
o Taking landlord supply meter readings and monthly oil readings
o Conducting monthly aid call checks
* Act as the first line of defence for all maintenance issues before engaging external contractors.
What We're Looking For:
* Practical handyman skills with a broad maintenance background
* Ability to prioritise urgent issues while managing scheduled compliance work
* Strong problem-solving and communication skills, especially with residents
* Flexibility to adjust work hours and tasks as needed
* Experience in a residential or retirement village environment is a plus
What's On Offer:
* Competitive pay at £14 per hour
* Monday to Friday work, 8am to 4:30pm with flexibility available
* Long-term contract with potential to transition into permanent employment
* Supportive team environment
