About the role

As a Head of Maintenance at a Barchester care home, you’ll make sure we have a clean and well‑maintained environment so that residents feel at home and staff can do their jobs well. Creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere is part of our commitment to delivering first‑class care and support.

This may involve fixing a leaky tap or planting new bulbs. You should be comfortable working independently, leading a team, and supporting the General Manager with annual budget planning. You’ll also liaise with contractors on projects outside the expertise of our team.

With hands‑on experience in property maintenance, you have at least one trade skill and a proven ability to manage a wide range of maintenance tasks. You should be reliable, flexible with working hours, hold a full UK driving licence, possess IT literacy, and have GCSEs in Maths and English (or equivalent).

Rewards package

In return for your dedication, you’ll receive a competitive rate of pay plus sector‑leading benefits and rewards including:

  • Free training and development for all roles
  • Access to wellbeing and support tools
  • A range of retail discounts and savings
  • Unlimited referrals with our Refer a Friend bonus scheme
  • Employee of the Month rewards and Long Service Awards

And so much more!

If you would like to use your maintenance and people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care you expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding place to be.
