Job Introduction
We are recruiting for an awesome Multi Skilled Operative who takes pride on the quality of their work to join us! You’ll be part of our Swarcliffe PFI who provide quality and efficient services on the Swarcliffe PFI Contract. It’s a role with meaning, so you’ll be making a real difference to customers’ lives with what you do.
You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. Yes, we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and make it possible for current and future customers to have a place they’re proud to call home, but we’re also all about making a positive difference in people’s lives. We’re transforming our business by investing in people, processes and technology to deliver a consistently great experience for our customers.
What you’ll be doing?
- You’ll be responsible for the delivery of a high quality, efficient and effective repairs service to the customers of Yorkshire Housing and any clients.
- You’ll carry out all multi skilled (high level joinery, with basic plumbing and building related) tasks and general property repairs, working on empty homes and planned maintenance projects.
- Participation in out of hours emergency cover.
- You’ll work as part of a team to ensure high standards of customer service and quality of work are delivered and health and safety is adhered to.
- You’ll assist in the effective delivery of materials and supply by liaising closely with management and suppliers as advised and ensuring van stock levels are effectively managed and maintained.
- Due to the nature of this role, you must have a full UK driving license.
The stuff that sets you apart
- This role would suit someone who can demonstrate detailed and wide-ranging knowledge of multi skilled / building related activities.
- You’ll have Building/Joinery qualification (C&G, NVQ or equivalent) and understanding of Health & Safety Awareness.
- You’ll have the ability to establish good working relationships with colleagues and computer literate or willingness to adopt to software-based systems after training.
What’s in it for you?
We offer a salary of £31,013.45 per annum for a 37.5-hour work week, 25 days annual leave (raising annually to 30 days) plus Bank Holidays. We also promote a flexible working culture, as long as these fit in around the needs of your role. So, you don’t need to take a day off to do that parent child reading class or take your pet to the vets or doing both! But talk it over with your manager, to make sure it fits in around what you need to do and meet business needs.
We also provide a fantastic reward package to suit everyone –a variety of amazing discounts via PerkBox, a great Healthcare cash plan called Health Shield and a contributory pension scheme where we will match your contributions up to 9%! As well as our great benefits and a fantastic work environment, we’re absolutely a company that cares about its employees and its customers.

You must hold full UK driving license for this role. A basic DBS check will also be required and a condition of any offer.
The closing date for this advert is the 7th of December 2023, but please apply ASAP as we reserve the right to interview and close early if needed.
If you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager
Our values
We’re looking for people who want to get stuck in and make a positive difference to people’s lives. We want you to own the work you do and achieve impact.
You’ll make it happen by being curious and creating trust with our customers and each other. We want you to love what you do and have fun along the way.
A bit more about us
We’ve got a few ‘house rules’ at Yorkshire Housing (no pun intended!). One of them is work is something that you do, not somewhere that you go, and another is that we think in careers, not jobs. Our flexible working environment and friendly culture means you can be yourself, take advantage of development opportunities and succeed – that’s just how we roll.
We’re inclusive and welcoming and offer a fun and open culture with a shared belief in making a positive difference to people’s lives – it really does feel like joining a big family!
