Everything we do is shaped by our HEART values, our customers and our commitment to creating positive change across our city. We believe safe, affordable homes are the foundation for better lives, and we work together to deliver services that make a meaningful impact every day.

We’re proud of our inclusive, customer-focused culture and the way our colleagues work together to make a difference every day. We’re looking for people who share our values, care about customers and enjoy working collaboratively to improve services and communities.

About the role

You will be responsible for visiting properties undergoing the Empty Homes process to carry out property clearances, ensuring they are ready for any required remedial works. You will also support other areas of the business by collecting and removing builders’ waste and other materials as required, helping to maintain safe and efficient working environments across the organisation.

• Full UK driving licence.

• Ability to work safely, methodically, and efficiently with strong organisational skills.

• Competent in recording and managing work activities using mobile technology.

Why join us?

We know that great services start with great people. That’s why we’re committed to creating a workplace where colleagues feel supported, valued and able to grow. Alongside meaningful work and opportunities to develop, you’ll also benefit from:

• 27 days’ annual leave when you join us, rising to 30 days after three years’ service, plus UK bank holidays
• the option to buy or sell annual leave through our holiday scheme
• a genuine approach to agile and flexible working, dependent on the role

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone feels valued, respected and able to be themselves.

We welcome applications for employment from eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.

As part of our commitment to improving representation, we operate the Rooney Rule and aim to interview at least one ethnically diverse candidate for all roles, and at least one female candidate for roles within our Trades and Facilities teams where women are currently underrepresented.

We’re also committed to supporting flexible and agile working where possible.
