Job description

We’re looking for a proactive and enthusiastic Estate Services Caretaker to join our brilliant Estate Services team in West Yorkshire. You’ll be joining a social housing provider with big growth plans, so we’re interested in hearing from individuals who are ready to take on their next challenge.

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.

You’ll be on the front-line of our services, providing a focused estate caretaking management service. It’s a role with meaning, and you’ll be really making a difference in people’s lives by ensuring that our customers live somewhere they’re proud to call home. Are you interested yet?

What you'll be doing

You’ll constantly strive to keep our schemes looking in tip-top shape, by carrying out routine patrols and inspections, maintaining a visible presence in the designated area, identifying where improvements can be made, and actions are required.

You’ll provide a first-class service through responding to first fix repairs, keeping designated areas clean and tidy and ensuring the health and safety of our customers and colleagues at all times.

You’ll create trust with our customers by reporting the failure of third-party services and following up on actions where appropriate. You’ll respond to incidents that could be classed as emergencies and deliver first aid when required.

You’ll undertake a range of minor repairs to communal areas and occupied and empty homes. These include but are not confined to joinery, plumbing and groundworks.

You’ll act as a trusted contact for customers, building positive relationships and signposting to further assistance.

What you’ll bring to the role

Experience working with a building estate or facilities management related capacity
Experience in repairs diagnosis and delivery
Minor repairs skills e.g. joinery, plumbing and groundworks

Strong communication and people skills
A willingness to learn and undertake training when required
Ability to work on your own initiative
Ability to work flexibility
A ‘can-do' attitude who enjoys finding innovative solutions

Strong problem-solving skills

What’s in it for you

In return, we offer £19,838.00 per annum for a 35-hour week, 25 days annual leave (rising annually to 30 days) plus Bank Holidays.

But that’s not all. We offer a reward package to suit everyone. At YH, 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.

Our people’s health and wellbeing is our top priority, and at YH, you can make the most of our readily available wellbeing support package. This includes access to a library of fitness classes, as well as an instant My GP service and free counselling sessions with our employee assistance programme.

Sounds good? We’d love to hear from you.

This role will close on 30th July 2023, so get your application in nice and early as if we identify superstars, we might close the role early! If you’re applying for this role internally, you’ll need to let your line manager know.

At YH, we’re actively building a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can contribute their best work and be themselves. We believe difference is what makes us stronger and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities we serve, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds for this role.
