Builders jobs in Pontefract

Job Introduction

Ey up! Are you an experienced tradesperson looking for a new role, working for an organisation that makes a real difference in peoples’ lives? Well, you’re in the right place, we’re on the lookout for a Multiskilled Builder to join our Repairs team!

How much?

£31,967.46 per annum for a 37.5-hour week

What’s in it for me?

You’ll get 25 days paid annual leave (rising annually to 30) plus Bank Holidays.

A fantastic pension scheme, and we will match your contribution up to 9%.

You’ll get a van & fuel card (which you don’t need to leave at a depot) but you can only use it for work! So, you’ll need a driving license.

We’ll supply the latest power tools, but as a tradesperson you’ll already have your own hand tools.

You can also claim back for medical appointments, prescriptions and more through our colleague cash plan, and access thousands of retail discounts with Perkbox.

When?

You’ll work a 37.5-hour week, between 8am and 6pm but we can be flexible with this.

We do have to look after our customers 24/7, so you’ll be expected to cover a call out service, but don’t worry, there are lots of willing folk helping out, so the rota is flexible and given in advance notice so you can plan around this.

Where?

Your primary location will be across North Yorkshire (York), but you may need to travel across the whole of Yorkshire as required.

With who?

You’ll work with an experienced, dynamic and friendly team across the region, and receive training from our experts to ensure you meet our quality guidelines. Opportunities to upskill yourself with various qualifications and move up the ladder too.

Who are we looking for?

Ideally, we are looking for people who can hit the ground running, so you’ll have worked in similar repairs and maintenance roles, great if they have been within social housing, but certainly not a deal breaker! We really just want the skills you can bring to our teams.

You’ll enjoy interacting with our customers and providing a great service. You’ll also be able to perform other trades but we’re looking for folk who can do general brick/stone work, flagging, fencing, drainage and general groundworks. If you can also do minor roofline works and rendering/plastering, make sure you let us know in your application form/cv! We call these roles internally Multiskilled Operatives just FYI.

It’s really important to us that our workforce reflect the diverse communities we serve and are committed to building an inclusive workplace, we welcome applications from all parts of the community.

The fine print

Closing date for applications will be the 20.10.24, but we’ll be reviewing and contacting applicants over the coming weeks so don’t wait around and keep your phone handy!

You must hold a full UK driving license for this role, and a basic DBS check will be required if successful.
