Multi Trade Operative in Bracknell

We’re responsible for making sure the properties are re-let in a timely manner, working with our in-house Trades and also closely with sub-contractors ensuring Empty Homes are returned to new customers with all maintenance work and repairs carried out safely, and to the highest standard. We also work alongside housing and lettings teams, and new residents to make sure everything runs smoothly turning an empty home into a warm, welcoming home.

Are you pro-active, highly motivated, professional and friendly? We're looking for two Multi Skilled Operatives to join our Empty Homes team where you'll be completing a wide variety of trades tasks to a high standard with an emphasis on delivering an efficient repairs service to Abri customers. You'll be working across Ascot, Windsor, Reading and Slough, and the surrounding areas.

Working as a great team player, you'll be carrying out work and installations to Abri's properties in an efficient and effective manner ensuring that all works are in accordance with good building maintenance practice. You'll be a good communicator, have an achievement-based approach to your work and be motivated. A City & Guilds or NVQ qualification relating to the above trade skills and previous experience is required.

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, so it’s very important your customer service skills are top notch - we want to always go above and beyond and amaze our customers with the services we provide.

We’ll provide you with your uniform, a van including fuel card, van vault, racking and inverter, company tablet & mobile as well as the PPE you need to let you crack on with what you do best. You’ll be expected to supply your own hand tools and power tools. You'll be required to cover Out of Hours Callouts on a rota basis so a clean driving license is a must! In this role, you’ll be an ambassador for the organisation by using your ‘can do’ attitude to provide a high-quality, ‘right first time’ service to our customers all while being the friendly face of Abri.

Not only this, you’ll be entitled to all the usual benefits from day one including 28 days holiday a year, generous pension and life assurance schemes and access to health and wellbeing packages. We hold monthly talks where all Trades can attend to highlight what’s going on within Abri and provide information on processes. If you want the opportunity to be part of a committed team who take as much pride in their work as you do and love putting a smile back on customers’ faces, get in touch with us today!

Abri is a large housing provider who own and manage more than 58,000 homes and various community assets, serving around 113,000 customers across the South of England. We believe everyone has the right to a good quality safe, warm and sustainable home in a community where they can belong, grow and thrive. We’re investing £689m over the next ten years in our existing homes to improve building safety and make them more energy efficient. We’re delivering 10,000 homes by 2030, ensuring affordable housing is built where it’s needed most. We’re investing in our communities, to address local issues and create opportunities for everyone.

We’ve all got different backgrounds, strengths and experiences. But we share the same values. It’s these shared values that bring us together as one team. Our colleagues embrace these every day. Be the difference to our customers and colleagues, always curious and look for better solutions, achieve together by working in partnership with others, own it openly through working with others in an open and honest way, and finally embrace possibility and see changes and challenges as welcomed opportunities.

We also expect our colleagues to share Abri’s commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. If you share our values and want to make a real difference in the world, you’re on to a winner and we’d love to hear from you!

We’re committed to promoting an inclusive culture. We welcome and respect the individual differences, life experiences and knowledge that all our colleagues bring into the workplace, and we value their contribution to our amazing company. Everyone is different, everyone is unique.

We recognise the benefits flexible working can bring and we aim to support colleagues who need to work flexibly wherever we can, provided the needs of both Abri and the colleague can be met. Please feel free to let us know about any flexibility you might need when applying for this role. We can’t promise to give you exactly what you want, but we do promise to consider it fully.
