At CrossReach we aim to create a happy and homely environment, where our residents are encouraged to live as independently as possible, with support provided as and when then need it. Our homes are exactly that, homes and we are now looking for a handyperson to join the team to help us do just that. As our handyperson of the service, you will work as part of the staff team liaising with the service manager and senior staff to ensure the upkeep of the building and grounds. You will do whatever is needed around the service to ensure that is runs smoothly and safely, including things like; escorting tradesmen when they are in the building, assist with moving of furniture and/or equipment and undertaking maintenance tasks around the Home, which could be painting and decorating, plumbing, electrical, joinery and any other task within your capabilities.We are looking for someone with previous experience, perhaps in a similar general maintenance role or as a tradesperson, but you will need to have a positive disposition, be flexible and show an appreciation that you will be working in someone's home. As this is a relief job, you will be called in as and when required, so it's a great opportunity to be part of the team that makes our service the home it is, without the commitment of a permanent job. As a Christian organisation, you will need to have a respect for all aspects of Christian worship and you will need to become a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. We have a legal obligation to ensure that it does not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK.
