About Yorkshire Housing
Here at Yorkshire Housing our customers are at the heart of what we do – we are not just your typical housing provider! In a nutshell We own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and our mission is to make it possible for current and future tenants to have a place they’re proud to call home. We’re all about the customer and our service doesn’t stop once the keys are in the door.
What you will be doing…
Routine patrols and inspections across ‘your patch’. You’ll be emptying void properties (lifting / handling required) as well as carrying out ad-hoc maintenance work, such as lock changes or jet washing. We’ll also need you to drive the cage van from time to time (we provide training on this!). If a garden spruce up is needed, we’d like your help with this too.
Check out the attached Role Profile for a breakdown of responsibilities.
Where?
You'll be working across North Yorkshire and based out of our Skipton depot.
What’s in it for you…
We offer a salary of £12,049.75 for 17.5 hours a week and 25 days of annual leave (rising annually to 30 days), plus bank holidays.
You’ll get a van & fuel card but you can only use it for work – so, you’ll need a driving licence.
That’s not all - we offer a reward package to suit everyone. At Yorkshire Housing, you can claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more with our cash plan, make the most of a variety of retail discounts and take advantage of our pension scheme where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.
One of our biggest priorities is the wellbeing of our staff and you can make the most of our readily available wellbeing support package. This includes access to a library of free fitness classes, as well as an instant My GP service and free counselling sessions with a trained professional.
Who are we looking for ?
Ideally we are looking for people who can hit the ground running, so you’ll have worked in similar maintenance roles, great if they have been within social housing, but it’s certainly not a deal breaker! We would like someone with great customer service skills and someone who is proud to carry out their work to ensure our customers have safe and clean spaces.
It’s really important to us that our workforce reflect the diverse communities we serve and are committed to building an inclusive workplace, we welcome applications from all parts of the community.
The finer print
Closing date for applications is 10.11.24. You must hold a full UK driving licence for this role, and a basic DBS check will be required if successful.
If you’re applying for this role internally, you must contact your line manager first.
