Your Knowledge, Experience and Qualifications:

What you’ll be doing:

Are you a skilled and experienced plumber who takes pride in getting the job done right the first time? Do you want to make a real difference in people’s lives while working for a values-driven organisation within a local community?

We’re looking for a Multi-Skilled Plumber to join our friendly, customer-focused team on a 6-month fixed-term contract. Working across homes, communal areas, garage sites, and some commercial properties, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our tenants’ homes safe, warm, and well-maintained.

You’ll be responsible for a range of plumbing repairs and installations, including work on hot and cold water systems, heating systems, and general maintenance tasks. You’ll be proactive in solving problems, identifying next steps when repairs can’t be completed immediately, and delivering a reliable, “right first time” service our customers can trust. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where your technical knowledge, communication, and problem-solving skills will all make a meaningful impact.

This role also includes a multi-skilled element, requiring you to carry out a range of trade-based tasks beyond your core plumbing duties. While you won’t be expected to undertake the full scope of work in these additional trades, you should be able to complete tasks to an NVQ Level 2 standard. We recognise these may not be your primary areas of expertise, so a slightly lower level of efficiency is expected when working outside your core trade.

Your working pattern will be;
