Part time (30 hours)

£18,720 (Full time equivalent £23,088)

Flexible working opportunities

Trowbridge, Melksham and surrounding areas

Closing date:   7 October 2024

Who we are

Selwood Housing Group is a not-for-profit housing association committed to providing affordable local homes for our customers. We have nearly 7,000 homes for affordable rent and shared ownership in Wiltshire, Somerset and Bath and North-East Somerset and employ over 300 staff from our offices in Trowbridge and Melksham.

The role

We are looking for a friendly and energetic individual to join our dedicated team of caretakers. As a team of three, you will look after our sheltered housing properties to keep them clean, safe and free from refuse or hazards.

Excellent customer service is at the heart of this role, as you will regularly be interacting with our residents as you work in and around their homes.

This is a physical job, with a fair amount of manual lifting and carrying, so would be ideal for someone looking for an active role, who enjoys being on their feet.

Day to day you will be cleaning and maintaining communal areas, managing bin store areas, addressing community issues such as fly-tipping, and prepping properties and guest rooms. As a Caretaker you will also be responsible for managing supplies and carrying out minor repairs and improvement to properties.

As this is a part time role, you will also have a certain amount of flexibility to decide your working hours, which could potentially be spread out over 4 or 5 days.

Our Caretakers play a hugely important role within Selwood, keeping our neighbourhoods vibrant and welcoming. If you’re after an active role where you will have a positive impact on your local community, we want to speak to you.

What we are looking for

We are open to all types of experience and backgrounds, but ideally you will have:

  • Strong Communication
  • Problem solving and the ability to adapt to new situations
  • Good collaboration and a focus on teamwork
  • A commitment to provide excellent customer service
  • Ability to manage your own time and motivate yourself
  • A full driving licence
  • Computer literacy

Although it is not necessary, experience and understanding of social housing will be a bonus

What we offer

Our main benefits include;

  • Company vehicle and fuel card
  • 27 holiday plus bank holidays
  • 2 paid gifted days; one for your birthday and one over Christmas
  • Buy/sell up to 1 week’s holiday
  • Life assurance
  • Flexible working opportunities – giving you flexibility on how long, where and when you work to support better customer service and promote a work/life balance.
  • Competitive pension (you pay 4%, we pay 4% or choose to opt into our enhanced pension scheme, where you pay 4%, we pay 9%)
  • Cycle to work scheme

At Selwood, we strive to respect the diversity of our staff. We care deeply about inclusivity and encourage candidates from all backgrounds, demographics, and identities to apply. We are a Disability Confident employer and will do our very best to provide any adjustments, access and equipment you feel you may need throughout the interview process, and during your employment with us.

We’re keen to build a supportive and rewarding environment, free from discrimination, that works for everyone.
