About The Role
Brize Meadow Lodge, Carterton OX18 1NZ
Please note that this is a full-time role working 35 hours per week, 8-3 shifts.
We are looking for a Caretaker with solid experience in maintenance, building, DIY, cleaning, and housekeeping. You'll also need technical knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, as well as ideally some IT skills. Whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you'll be truly considerate and kind.
As a Caretaker, this means ensuring our Residents live in a place that's proactively inspected and brilliantly maintained at all times. You'll carry out audits and make sure records are kept up to date. Whether you're replacing a tap or mixer valve, fitting a new extractor fan, repairing the timber on a bedroom window, or putting up new wallpaper in the dining room, you'll do so with a sense of kindness above anything else.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and it is important that you are able to recognize the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
