Do you enjoy working with people, ensuring that residents feel supported and well cared for?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Maintenance Assistant to join a friendly and dedicated Housing Services team, helping to ensure residents live in safe, comfortable environments across supported and older persons’ accommodation. This is a varied role where no two days are the same – from carrying out health and safety checks and fire alarm testing, to liaising with contractors, supporting residents, and maintaining high service standards.

* Monitoring the quality of cleaning, gardening, and estate services, raising any performance issues.
* Assisting with void property management – from inspecting and preparing empty homes to coordinating re-lets.
* Supporting residents and liaising with support providers to ensure everyone feels safe and cared for.
* Maintaining accurate records and contributing to performance reporting.
About you
We’re looking for someone who is proactive, reliable, and has a real passion for delivering excellent customer service. You’ll be approachable and organised, with good attention to detail and the confidence to communicate with residents, contractors, and colleagues alike.
Essential skills & experience:
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* Good understanding of Health & Safety responsibilities.
* Administrative experience and confident IT skills.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a supportive team.
* Full driving licence.
Desirable: Experience carrying out compliance or safety checks within housing or property settings.
