You:

You're a caring, can-do person with experience working in building maintenance. Ideally, some of that has been gained in a care home setting. You've got a good basic education with GCSEs (or the equivalent) including English and Maths. As well as being very practical, you like dealing with people. You're happy building good relationships with residents, colleagues and contractors. You're a multi-tasker who can work well under pressure and use your initiative to solve problems.

Above all, you're a team player who takes pride in your work and is committed to maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for our residents.

Your role:

The safety of our care home residents and staff is really important. So your role will be to make sure the premises and grounds are maintained to a high standard. You'll perform regular checks, carry out repairs and, when needed, contact engineers or service agents. You'll be confident doing fire, basic electrical and appliance checks. Faults must be reported and actioned promptly. We'll also expect you to keep the grounds looking tidy and carry out general redecoration work.

As our Maintenance Person, you'll be a valuable member of our friendly, close-knit team, promoting the well-being of our residents and the successful running of our care home.

About Care UK:

We run over 120 homes and day clubs across the UK. We provide residential, nursing, dementia and end-of-life care for older people.

As one of the UK's leading care home providers, our goal is to help every employee fulfil his or her potential - with first-class training and support.

We offer high standards of care together with a warm welcome from our passionate team.

Whitefarm Lodge is a modern and welcoming purpose-designed care home in Whitton, a quiet neighbourhood close to Twickenham in Middlesex.

We provide personalised residential care for older people and specialist nursing care for individuals with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.

We work closely with residents, their families and others to develop person-centred care plans that take into account not just support needs, but lifetime experiences, interests, likes and dislikes.

Each member of our team is dedicated to delivering the highest standards of care and making sure that residents are happy and fulfilled.

Lots of our team members have worked at Whitefarm Lodge for many years.

We're always available to offer support to relatives and friends of residents, and four times a year we hold a special meeting where people can come along to find out more about what life at the home is like and how we care for residents with dementia.

Residents also attend these meetings to share their experiences and talk about their daily lives.
