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.

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.

Cathkin House offers modern facilities and a warm welcome from our team.
Cathkin House is a modern, purpose-built care home in the small village of Nerston, East Kilbride.

Our dedicated team provides expert residential, nursing and respite care for older people, including individuals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

Everyone at Cathkin House enjoys one-to-one attention and care.

To help us learn about each individual and their likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests, we work with residents and their families to complete special 'All about me' booklets.

We also hold monthly meetings with residents, to talk about upcoming activities and get everyone's suggestions about things like our menu.

Our manager's door is always open to residents and their relatives if anyone has a query or question.

Cathkin House has a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, and family pets are very welcome to visit.

The home is within walking distance of local amenities and shops, and the village offers good bus connections to East Kilbride and Glasgow.
