  • About The Role

  • We’re looking for skilled and versatile Multi Traders to join our Direct Services team, helping us deliver a high quality repairs and maintenance service to our residents.
     
    Reporting to a Lead Technician, you’ll work within our Reactive Repairs service, carrying out a wide range of repairs across our homes throughout Brighton, Horsham and Crawley. This will include multi trade tasks such as basic plumbing, carpentry, patch plastering, tiling, and other general maintenance works. You’ll manage your own workload day to day, working efficiently to meet service targets and delivering work right first time. Customer satisfaction will be at the heart of everything you do, and you’ll ensure residents are kept informed throughout the repair process. This is a field based role, and you’ll be required to take part in a 24 hour emergency call out rota on a fair and planned basis.
     
    About you
     
    You’re an experienced Multi Trader with a broad skillset and a strong customer focus. You’re confident working independently across a range of repairs, but also enjoy working as part of a team and supporting colleagues to deliver the best outcomes for residents.
     
    You will need:
     
    • A proven track record of working within a Direct Labour Service or similar repairs environment, with customer satisfaction at the heart of service delivery
    • Relevant trade qualifications (City & Guilds or NVQ Level 2 and/or Level 3) or equivalent experience across multiple trades
    • Experience delivering a range of repairs and maintenance works across different trades
    • Strong knowledge of health & safety legislation, building regulations and safe systems of work
    • The ability to diagnose faults and deliver a ‘first time fix’ wherever possible
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work professionally with residents, including those who may be vulnerable
    • A flexible, proactive approach and a strong ‘one team’ mindset
    • Willingness to work evenings and/or weekends with reasonable notice and take part in a 24 hour emergency call out rota
    • You must hold a full UK driving licence with no more than six points and with no serious motoring offences in the last 10 years (i.e., CD, DD, DG, DR, IN, MR, TT). You must also have a minimum of two years driving experience. We will undertake driving licence checks on the successful candidate as part of our standard pre-employment checks process.
    Successful candidates will be subject to a basic DBS check.
     
    Advert closing date: 18th October 2026 at 23:59 (We may close the advert early if we receive a suitable number of applications).
