We’re looking for a passionate, qualified Electrician to join our brilliant team who take pride in their quality of work.

As an Electrician at Yorkshire Housing, you’ll get:

• £37,350.60 per annum for 37.5 hours per week
• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays rising 1 day each year up to 30!

• A variety of fantastic retail discounts
• A company van, fuel card and all associated plant and equipment

You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. 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 live in a place they’re proud to call home.

Our service doesn’t stop once the keys are in the door, and as an Electrician, you’ll play a key role in making sure our tenants feel safe, valued and proud to live in a YH home from day one. It’s a role that you can go home from knowing you’ve made a difference, with customers always at the heart!

What you’ll be doing

You’ll undertake Fixed Wire Testing on our 5 yearly programme to ensure our homes are up to date and safe for the customer. There are other workstreams which include electrical repairs & alterations to existing fittings and fixtures, rewiring partial or full properties, including inspection, testing and the provision of certification and reporting on the condition of electrical components and equipment. You’ll be using your own personal initiative, problem-solving any smaller issues on-site, but also be working as a key player in a bigger team. Also, you’ll work closely with other trades, as well as administrators and suppliers. You’ll be the face of Yorkshire Housing to many of our tenants. So, respectful, warm and professional communication is a key part of this role.

Sounds good? Here’s what we need from you…

If you’re passionate about creating trust with our customers and doing the right thing, not the easy thing, then this role sounds perfect for you. We’re a future-focused, innovative housing provider with big plans for growth and developing our customer offer. Want to come along for the ride?

We’re also looking for someone with the right experience in domestic EICR testing and qualifications. You’ll have City & Guilds Level 3 (or recognised equivalent qualification), City & Guilds 2382 (18th edition), NVQ in Electro technical Services & AM2 Certification. 2391 inspection and testing is desirable, but if you don't have it we'll put you through it. 

You'll also need a valid UK driving licence. This is a mobile role, so you'll be travelling around Yorkshire, however we'll try to allocate customers based around your current location.  Please see the attached role profile for more info.

So, now you’re really interested?

At YH, we’re building a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can be themselves. Difference is what makes us stronger, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds.

The fine print

If you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager (it’s the right thing to do!). If a competitive candidate pool is identified, we reserve the right to close the role early, therefore we would encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. You'll be based across Yorkshire, so please ensure your CV has an up to date postcode on!
