Are you a practical, hands-on person who likes fixing things, helping people, and finishing a job knowing you’ve made a real difference?
We’re working with a fantastic Care & Repair business that is looking for a Multi-Skilled Handy Person to join their team. This is a varied role where around 70% of your work will focus on cold water plumbing, with the remaining 30% covering general handyman and property maintenance tasks.
You’ll be working in customers’ homes, helping to keep properties safe, functional and well maintained — so alongside your practical skills, you’ll need to be someone who takes pride in their work and treats people with care and respect.
What will you be doing?
Your day-to-day work will include:
- Carrying out cold water plumbing repairs and installations
- Repairing and replacing taps, valves, pipes, toilets, cisterns and other water fittings
- Identifying and resolving leaks and minor plumbing issues
- Carrying out general property repairs and maintenance
- Basic carpentry, joinery, tiling, patching and making good
- Putting up grab rails, handrails and other household adaptations where required
- Carrying out minor repairs to doors, fixtures, fittings and furniture
- Responding to jobs efficiently and completing work to a high standard
- Keeping customers informed and providing a friendly, professional service
- Completing job sheets and relevant paperwork accurately
- Working safely and following all company procedures
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone who is practical, reliable and genuinely enjoys helping people.
The essentials:
- Previous experience in plumbing, property maintenance or a multi-skilled maintenance role
- Good practical knowledge of cold water plumbing systems
- A broad range of basic handyman/maintenance skills
- The ability to diagnose problems and find practical solutions
- A good eye for detail and pride in your workmanship
- Excellent customer service skills
- The ability to work independently and manage your own workload
- A full UK driving licence
- A DBS is required for the role (carried out once an offer has been made if not on the Update Service)
- A professional, friendly and approachable manner
Experience of working in social housing, care & repair, adaptations or customers’ homes would be ideal, but isn’t essential.
Why join?
This is a great opportunity to join a business where your work genuinely makes a difference. You’ll be helping people to live safely and comfortably in their own homes, while working as part of a supportive and experienced team.
You can expect:
- A permanent position with a well-established organisation
- A varied workload — no two days are quite the same
- The opportunity to use and develop your practical skills
- A friendly and supportive working environment
