Job Vacancy

Facilities & Maintenance Officer

Location: Ringwood and to other Trust sites

24 hours per week, over three days

£15 per hour / £18,720 per annum

We have a new, fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Facilities & Maintenance Officer to join our Facilities & Maintenance department at The Stable Family Home Trust.

The Stable Family Home Trust was established over four decades ago with the aim of providing a caring and therapeutic environment for adults with learning disabilities. Over the years the Trust has diversified and strengthened its offer and now supports over 50 people through our seven Supported Living Homes, with demand for housing increasing all the time, and up to 100 people through our Day Services provision, across three beautiful sites in the Ringwood and Bournemouth areas.

We use a person-centred approach, seeing the person and not the disability, and work with each of them individually to help them develop their skills and confidence so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. With personalised care and support plans tailored to individual strengths and needs, our service users are empowered to live their lives with greater independence and choice, and to better understand their rights as a member of the community.

About the Trust:

We are a values-led organisation where people always come first. Our main purpose is to support adults with learning disabilities to develop the skills and confidence that enable them to live their lives as independently as possible; to participate in their local communities and be valued for the extraordinary contribution they make to our society.

The Trust is a Registered Charity established in 1980 by a group of families whose young adult children had learning disabilities - we now support over 100 people every year.

About You:

You are a self-motivated and experienced Facilities & Maintenance Officer who can work well as part of a small team carrying out maintenance and repair jobs as directed by the Facilities & Maintenance Manager across the Trust's property portfolio in Ringwood, Southbourne and Christchurch.

Experience in a similar role is essential, with the ability to take direction, as well as working on your own initiative. You will enjoy a busy and varied role and be flexible in your tasks to ensure that you get the job done.

About the Role:

You will undertake general maintenance & repair jobs including, but not limited to, redecoration of bedrooms and communal areas, carpentry work, minor electrical and plumbing repairs and external works such as fence repairs and replacements. You will also be responsible for undertaking general H&S inspections in all properties and collaborate with the Facilities & Maintenance Manager to ensure that any works identified are actioned. During your working hours, you will provide emergency response to more serious maintenance issues, such as leaks, broken doors and windows and other issues that could potentially cause harm to service users, staff team member or the public. Within this role, you will also support with setting up for fundraising events.

There is scope for overtime and there may be opportunity in the future for the role to become full-time.
