Summary
Please note: This role is to cover 10 hours per week, working 2 days per week 5 hrs per day. Days to be agreed at later stage
Additional role requirements:
Standard DBS Check required
Do you take pride in keeping places safe, clean, and running smoothly?
We’re looking for a reliable and hands-on Caretaker to join our Housing Operations team. This role is all about making sure our schemes are well maintained, safe, and welcoming for residents.
You’ll play a key part in day-to-day estate services — from carrying out minor repairs and safety checks to keeping communal areas clean and working with contractors. If you enjoy practical work, being out and about, and making a visible difference in communities, this could be the perfect role for you.
This isn’t just about maintenance — it’s about creating an environment where residents feel safe, supported, and proud to live.
What’s in it for you….
In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:
High street discount schemes
Health cash plans
26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
Car leasing scheme
Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.
What you’ll be doing……
Carry out day-to-day caretaking and handyperson duties to keep schemes clean, safe, and well maintained
Complete routine safety checks including fire alarms, lighting, entry systems, and escape routes
Perform basic repairs such as lock changes, minor maintenance, and reporting defects
Perform basic redecoration of flats including full paint and gloss work
Maintain communal areas including cleaning, waste management, and graffiti removal
Support grounds maintenance tasks such as cutting the boundary hedge, maintaining lawns and play areas for communal use, litter picking, sweeping, and minor gardening
Work closely with contractors, ensuring access and supporting planned works
Identify and report health and safety risks, security concerns, or maintenance issues
Support residents, communicating clearly and providing a helpful, customer-focused service
Assist in emergency situations such as floods, break-ins, or restoring site security
Listing and reporting repairs, done under time constraints and the need on occasions for over time
What we’re looking for…
We’d love to hear from you if you:
Have experience in a caretaking, maintenance, or similar hands-on role
Have basic skills in general repairs (e.g. plumbing, carpentry, or similar)
Understand health and safety requirements in a residential or site-based environment
Are reliable, organised, and able to manage your own workload
Enjoy working both independently and as part of a team
Have a positive, “can-do” attitude and take pride in your work
Are customer-focused and comfortable interacting with residents, including vulnerable individuals
If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility.
At PA Housing, we believe in respect, integrity, and accountability. Our work is about people – not just properties – and we’re always looking for ways to do better. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
