Our Vacancy

We are looking for a skilled and customer-focused Painter & Decorator to join our Repairs team. You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality painting and decorating works across our properties, with a particular focus on addressing damp and mould issues and restoring homes to a safe, clean and well-presented standard. Working with minimal supervision, you'll take ownership of your work, strive to achieve a first-time fix wherever possible, and play an important role in maintaining customer satisfaction through excellent workmanship and service.

What You'll Do

As a Painter & Decorator, you will carry out reactive maintenance, repairs and redecoration works in occupied and void properties, ensuring all tasks are completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You'll work closely with colleagues, supervisors and other trades to identify and resolve property maintenance issues, particularly those relating to damp and mould. The role will involve ordering materials, maintaining accurate records using company systems, and delivering excellent customer service while always working in line with Health & Safety, safeguarding and company policies.

What You'll Need

You'll have proven experience as a Painter & Decorator, alongside a full UK driving licence and a strong commitment to quality, safety and customer care. You will be comfortable working independently, using a range of hand tools and carrying out physical work in a variety of environments, including at height, on uneven ground and within confined spaces when required. Qualifications such as an NVQ Level 2 or C&G in Painting & Decorating, CSCS certification and experience within social housing maintenance would be advantageous.

Why join us?
