- You’re multi skilled with general maintenance skills, know a bit about general repairs, carpentry, basic plumbing and can wield a broom or paint brush!
- Comfortable working and communicating with people from all walks of life
- It would be amazing if you have been a handy person in a previous job, but it’s not a deal breaker
- To get from A to B, you’ll need a vehicle insured for business purposes. The great news is that we’ll pay your mileage!
Due to limits on our current certificates of sponsorship, we are not able to offer sponsorship to external candidates for this role. This remains under regular review.
Our team
You’ll join Rosie, Gemma and the teams working in supported accommodation we’re super passionate about what we do! We’re really proud of the standard of our properties and accommodation.
Job details

- Based at our service in Sherwood House, Brandon in Durham you’ll spend your time travelling around the properties in our patch, predominantly across the Co Durham Area.
- Occasionally travel outside of our patch / service to work on a property that you may not have worked on before, or when we have an all hands-on deck situation.
- You’ll need a Standard DBS check done and we pay for that.
A place where you belong
Great things happen when we can be ourselves at work. We want all our colleagues to be who they truly are here. Our internal diversity networks, peers and allies (Multicultural, LGBTQIA+ and Disability) support us all to be our best. Together we make Home Group a great place to work!
What’s in it for you?
- Enjoy 2 days volunteering, 34 days leave (this includes bank holidays and a "me day"), increasing to 39.
- Health cash plan saving you from £1140 per annum. We’ll cover your costs (and kids if you have them) towards dental, optical, prescriptions, alternative therapies and lots more.
- Over 800 high street discounts on groceries, holidays and days out. Looking for a new phone, bike or car? Save money with us.
- We Grow Our Own colleagues (not literally of course!), when you’re ready for the next step in your career, you can grow with us!
