Working as part of a committed and skilled team, you’ll help maintain and repair essential building services and equipment that keep our hospitals safe, efficient, and fully operational.

In this hands-on role, you will install, maintain, and service a wide range of equipment, ensuring all work meets Trust standards and contributes to a reliable and responsive estates service. You’ll carry out general maintenance and repairs to Trust property and assets, tackling both planned tasks and reactive jobs with professionalism and care. You will complete work allocated on dockets and update the Trust CAFM system promptly, helping us maintain accurate records and smooth workflows.
