Area of Operations:

Paradigm Housing Group manages a diverse portfolio of 17,000 properties located across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Greater London, and surrounding areas. In this role, you will be required to travel throughout our property network to carry out Electrical repairs and ensure the continued safety and integrity of our homes.

Where could this role take you?

Whilst this is not currently a permanent role, in a business our size and with the transformation we are going through, there is a possibility that this could either be extended, made permanent or other opportunities may arise. Many of our talented colleagues started at Paradigm as temporary/interim and have gone on to forge successful careers with us. However, if something longer-term doesn't materialise, you will still gain valuable experience, which will add to your employability in this and similar fields.
