Caretaker

Permanent, Part-Time (18.5 hours per week)

A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Caretaker within our Environmental Services team.

Responsible for the safety, security, and cleanliness of Stockport Homes buildings; you must always deliver an excellent level of customer service, even when faced with challenging behaviours. You’ll be required to communicate effectively with your manager and colleagues to ensure all work is completed and, where necessary, to solve problems as they arise. Working pro-actively on areas which require the most intensive cleaning, you must be flexible and open to change, able to use IT applications and support our team’s vision to grow and develop.

You should complete any training required to carry out the job safely, protecting both yourself and others around you, and be aware to report any safeguarding issues. You will be responsible for maintaining adequate stock levels on site so all cleaning and maintenance tasks can be carried out efficiently and effectively.

Candidates for this role must be able to drive, to work flexibly across our 7-day working pattern, have a positive and enthusiastic approach to work and dealing with customers and a good eye for detail; making sure no job, however small - is overlooked. Previous experience of working in a caretaking, cleaning or high reach window cleaning role is desirable, but not essential as all relevant training will be given. A full driving licence is required.
