    Job introduction

    Brighton and Hove City Council are recruiting for experienced and enthusiastic tradespeople to join our newly in-sourced Housing Repairs and Maintenance Team

    Do you want to support the residents of the city with their carpentryrepairs? Do you want to focus on your trade and not sourcing materials, writing quotes or chasing customers for payment? Do you have a full clean drivers licence? Do you have a City and Guilds or NVQ level 2 or equivalent in carpentry?

    If so, we'd welcome your application to work within our busy Housing Repairs and Maintenance Service.

    For an informal discussion, please contact Danny Reddin, Project Manager at

    About the role

    You will carry out high-standard carpentry repairs and refurbishment activities for our residents' homes, delivering high customer service and meeting all safety, quality and cost control standards.

    You will mainly be working in occupied properties within the Brighton and Hove area either on your own or in a small team. The key tasks will be:

    • Diagnosing and repairing defects across all aspects of carpentry installations.
    • Repair, replacement and adjustment of doors and windows
    • Repair and installation of flooring
    • Kitchen installations, repairs and replacement
    • Maintenance and replacement of ironmongery
    • Emergency response to make properties safe/secure
    • Making good to finishes including caulk/sealant, paint, stain, varnish and other finishes.

    Our residents come from a variety of backgrounds and some are vulnerable so you will need to be comfortable interacting with a wide range of people.

    Our team members say they enjoy working in Housing Repairs because "Every day is completely different, we really get a chance to help people from the local community and it feels great to have made a difference at the end of the day".

    In return for your skills and hard work, we offer:

    • A defined working week of 37 hours per week plus 5.5 hours of contracted overtime (Monday – Friday 08.00 – 17.00)
    • The opportunity to take on additional call out shifts if you want to
    • A full induction with job shadowingand on-going development
    • Your own allocated fleet vehicle for work use

    As part of your application, you will need to upload your CV and answers to some shortlisting questions. Your answers to the shortlisting questions are the most important part of your application as they will be used in the shortlisting process to assess whether you meet the essential requirements for the role that are set out in the person specification and to decide whether you should be offered an interview. Before you start your application, please read our guidance here (CV guidance (brighton-) andShortlisting questions guidance (brighton-) as this gives important advice which will increase your chance of success in the shortlisting process.

    Additional information

    Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is term-time only. For part time applicants, where your working week is less than the council's basic 37 hour week, contracted overtime rated pay will not form part of your working hours. This is because overtime rated pay is payable for hours worked in excess of the council's basic 37 hour week. Your starting salary will be pro rata based on the basic annual salary elements of pay between £29,777& £31,364.

    Our city is known and loved for its diversity. Not only is the mixture of people, culture and skills vital to the economic and social development of the city, it's what makes Brighton & Hove such a great place to live, work and visit. We are committed to developing and retaining a workforce that is representative of the diverse communities we serve so we welcome applications from individuals from all backgrounds. In order to achieve our aims of proportionate representation, we particularly encourage applicants from a BME or White Other background as well as those who identify as disabled, male or trans.
