About the Role
Are you an experienced property maintenance professional with a passion for making a difference? At Bedspace, we’re seeking dedicated Maintenance & Voids Operatives to uphold the high standards of the Bedspace Accommodation Standard. You’ll work on properties providing housing for vulnerable service users, including individuals with complex needs. Our service is supported by two teams:
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for attending to occupied properties.
- Voids Team: Focused on preparing vacant properties to meet required standards.
Flexibility to work across both areas will be essential to meet business needs. Your technical expertise, combined with strong interpersonal skills and a resilient, can‑do attitude, will enable you to make a meaningful impact every day—whether that’s offering a kind word to someone feeling isolated or managing challenging situations with professionalism.

- Grade 2: Plumbing, electrics, joinery, locks, and advanced fire safety tasks.
- Grade 3: Joinery, plastering, plumbing, electrical work, PVC maintenance, and mentoring others.
We offer an excellent opportunity to develop your skills. For less experienced candidates, we provide mentoring and support to help you progress through the grades and increase your earning potential.
Who We’re Looking For
- Experience in the relevant tasks listed above.
- A full UK driving licence (with no more than six points on your licence).
- Willingness to travel across the region.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to engage with vulnerable individuals respectfully and effectively.
- A robust, solution‑focused attitude, particularly when managing challenging situations.
What We Offer
