Maintenance Multi-Skilled Tradesperson Buildings Team in Chesterfield

We are looking for a Multi-Skilled Tradesperson to join the Derbyshire Support and Facilities Services Ltd estates team to work within our Buildings team in the estates workshop. The workshop provides a maintenance service to Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and external clients. You will need to demonstrate strong team working skills; have good experience of working in a maintenance role and be comfortable in working to targets and working on your own. Experience of working with/maintaining fire doors is essential for this post.

The post-holder will be required to work on the tradesperson on-call rota for which additional payments will be made on top of the stated salary. The post-holder will be required to support the mechanical and electrical workshops as required and within the capabilities of their skills.

Benefits:

• Nest Pension with up to 8% employer contributions making it one of the most generous private sector pensions.

DSFS requires a highly motivated Multi-Skilled Tradesperson (Carpentry and Joinery Bias Backlog Maintenance) who will be based within the estates department at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. The role will work in a newly formed team within the estates workshop as part of a team of 4 full time staff responsible for carrying out backlog maintenance (minor improvement) works. Typical works would include fitting white-rock panels to walls, repairing and replacing vinyl flooring, fitting new fire doors and other minor building improvements.

The post-holder will be recruited into one of the workshop teams but may be required to work within any of the teams within the workshop depending on the needs of the department. The role may be required to participate in any future estates on-call tradesperson rota. This would attract additional payments on top of the stated salary range. There will be occasional requirements to work outside the normal estates hours (08:00 – 16:00 Monday to Friday) to carry out works which cannot be completed in hours and so a flexible approach to working hours is required.

The role will require frequent travel to our customers based outside of Chesterfield Royal Hospital, such as the community clinics that we manage for Royal Primary Care.
