Are you practical, organised and proud of keeping buildings safe, well maintained and looking cared for?
Oaklands Rest Home is looking for a Head of Maintenance to support the safety, comfort, compliance and presentation of our family-run care home.
This is a hands‑on role covering reactive repairs, planned maintenance, safety checks, contractor liaison, stock and tools, grounds, records and general upkeep of the home.
In a care home, maintenance is not just fixing things. It affects resident safety, dignity, comfort, first impressions, staff confidence and family trust.
What you will be doing
- respond to maintenance requests and minor repairs
- prioritise health, safety, fire and resident wellbeing risks
- support planned maintenance checks and compliance records
- liaise with contractors and suppliers
- maintain tools, stock and maintenance areas safely
- support building, garden and grounds upkeep
- use maintenance systems and records properly
- work respectfully around residents, including people living with dementia
What we are looking for
- experienced in property maintenance, repairs or a similar practical role
- hands‑on, organised and reliable
- safety-conscious and good at prioritising risks
- confident with basic records, email and digital systems
- able to communicate well with staff, contractors and managers
- respectful of residents’ privacy, routines and dignity
- honest about what can be completed safely and when specialists are needed
Care home experience is helpful but not essential. A practical mindset, strong safety awareness and respect for older people are essential.
What we offer
- paid training
- bonuses
- supportive family-run care home culture
- varied and meaningful work
- friendly team environment
If you want a practical role where your work directly helps people feel safe and comfortable, we would love to hear from you.
