• Support operational efficiency, completing documentation accurately, preparing schedules/tenders, supervising apprentices when required, managing materials and vehicle stock, and participating in an out of hours emergency rota.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of the service that MSV delivers to our customers, so your effective communication skills and ability to understand with empathy the diverse needs of our customers will be key. You'll be based in the communities we serve and will work under minimum supervision and as part of a team using a flexible approach.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all colleagues to share this commitment. As this job is based within our property care team where you'll be entering the homes of our customers, a basic criminal records background check (free of charge to you) is required. A criminal conviction does not necessarily stop you from working with us. All decisions regarding convictions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Further detail on our commitment to safeguarding young people can be found in our Safeguarding policy attached alongside this vacancy's candidate pack.

We offer a range of great benefits including:

• Company vehicle.
• 33 days holiday per year plus bank holidays, and a holiday buy scheme.
• Company pension scheme with up to 10% matched contributions.
• Company funded access to a health cash plan, where you can claim back costs of everyday health treatments such as optical, dental and much more.
• Enhanced sick pay with up to 3 months full pay and 3 months half pay.
• Health and Wellbeing Support including an employee assistance programme, free counselling, mental health first aiders and numerous wellbeing initiatives.
• Life assurance subject to being a member of our company pension scheme.
• Learning and development to support you to develop the skills you need to fulfil your role and progress in your career.
• Commitment to Equality and Inclusion with employee network groups covering anti-racism, LGBTQ+, disability and long-term health conditions, carers, and menopause.

MSV are committed to Equality and Inclusion; all applications are scored against the essential criteria of the role; however, we encourage candidates to submit an ammonised CV if they can do so. MSV are also committed to supporting you to balance work and life, including with any caring or parental responsibilities you might have, and have a range of flexible working options and wellbeing support available to all colleagues to facilitate this.
