    Trainee Maintenance Officer - United Kingdom - West Northants Council

    Default job background
    Description

    To learn the skills to assist in delivering a programme of maintenance and repairs at West Northamptonshire Council's corporate buildings, including reactive, compliance and pre-planned work such as small decorating jobs, building checks, changing taps, unblocking toilets and maintenance tasks that support keeping WNC corporate buildings safe, warm, and dry.

    What will you be doing?

    This role involves regular manual handling, working at height and using hand and power tools.

    The role is field based which means that the successful applicant will be working in and around the corporate buildings. However, there will be a small amount of administration which will require the use of a computer.

Your responsibilities will encompass a variety of tasks, including addressing immediate issues and executing planned maintenance work such as small-scale renovations and routine inspections.

Experience is not required; we offer comprehensive training to equip you with the necessary skills. If you're ready to contribute to the safety and integrity of our buildings while gaining valuable experience, we encourage you to apply and become part of our dedicated team.

    • Ongoing training and development opportunities.
    • A variety of flexible working options to support your work/life balance, including full or part time, term time, 9-day fortnight, etc. (subject to business needs).
    • Our West Ways of Working – We want our workforce to thrive, and we equip our employees with the right technology to support hybrid and collaborative working, on or off site, depending on the role.
    • Making a difference - If you want to use your skills and experience with an organisation that are genuinely invested in making a difference, are committed to improving people's lives, and whose success has a direct impact on the wellbeing of your family, friends and people in your local area, then West Northamptonshire Council is the place for you.
