I am looking for a  Carpenter to work in Social Housing, completing carpentry and general property maintenance across homes in Wigan. This role offers an immediate start, a company vehicle and the possibility of a permanent position as the workload continues to grow.
I'd be keen to speak with candidates who have experience in carpentry, joinery, social housing repairs or responsive property maintenance.

The Carpenter role is offering:

As a Carpenter, you will be:
• Carrying out carpentry and joinery repairs in social housing properties
• Repairing and adjusting doors, frames and wooden fixtures
• Completing repairs to handrails and other fittings
• Sealing around door frames and associated fixtures where required
• Addressing general defects and completing small remedial works
• Making good following repairs and leaving work areas tidy
• Working respectfully in occupied homes and minimising disruption to residents

I'd love to speak to anyone who has:
• Experience in carpentry, joinery or general maintenance
• Previous experience working in social housing or residential repairs
• Practical skills in repairing doors, frames, fixtures and fittings
• The ability to manage jobs independently and deliver quality work
• A proactive attitude towards identifying and resolving property issues
• Experience working professionally in occupied properties
• Confidence using a smartphone or tablet for job reporting
• A full UK driving licence
• Asbestos Awareness certification (desirable, although training can be arranged)
