Maintenance Operative

As the Maintenance Operative for the home, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents and staff, as well as maintaining the overall presentation of the home and garden.

Regular health and safety checks are essential to create a safe environment for everyone. This may include fire alarm, water flushing and bed safety checks, among others.

Effective communication is vital in your role. You will regularly engage with residents, their families, and colleagues as part of your daily activities. Additionally, you will liaise with contractors, coordinate their services and ensure that work is completed to a high standard.

Occasional visits to other homes may be necessary to provide cover or as part of planned maintenance activities., Sanctuary Group encourages and welcomes applications from people from diverse backgrounds to support our commitment to offering an inclusive environment for our employees and customers.
We work closely with the Home Office in order to prevent illegal working.
A PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups scheme) check in respect of protected adults will be necessary in the event of a successful application, which we will pay for.
