We’re excited to introduce a new Maintenance Team Leader role at The Amicus Community!

Working closely with the Environment & Facilities Manager, you’ll play a key role in keeping our residential homes and school sites safe, well-maintained and welcoming environments for our children and staff.

If you’re a practical, organised and proactive person who enjoys taking responsibility, supporting others and making a visible difference to the environments around you, we’d love to hear from you!
