About us
Hiring a contractor is one of the most stressful things most people will ever do, and one of the easiest to get wrong. It’s hard to tell a good contractor from a bad one, hard to check whether they’re any good before the work starts, and far too common to end up with a botched job, a blown budget, or a contractor who disappears halfway through. It’s not much better for the contractors. The good ones get undercut by cowboys and have no simple way to prove they know what they’re doing.
The Page fixes that. We vet contractors properly, checking their credentials, insurance and track record, then match them with the right homeowners. Homeowners get a contractor they can trust, and good contractors get good work. That’s the whole idea.
The role
You’d work closely with the founding team and see first-hand what it takes to build a small company. Most of your time will go on growing our contractor network: finding new contractors, tightening up how we vet them, and putting together the profiles homeowners see. You’ll also help us fix and improve the way we work, and muck in on whatever else comes up.
It’s a hands-on role with real responsibility, not a coffee run.
What you’ll do
- Find and sign up contractors. Track down good ones across London, reach out, and bring them on board.
- Vetting. Run and improve our vetting process: collecting documents, checking credentials, insurance and accreditations, and keeping standards consistent.
- Build contractor profiles. Put together clear, honest profiles that give homeowners what they need to decide.
- Improve how we work. Look at how we do things, work out what’s clunky, and help fix it.
- Whatever else comes up. Pitch in wherever the business needs a hand.
What we’re looking for
- Ownership. You get on with things and see them through without being chased.
- Enthusiasm. You bring energy and want to do a good job.
- A real interest in how a small, high growth company is run. You want a proper look behind the scenes of an early-stage business, and you’ll get one.
- Organised, with an eye for detail and good writing.
- Happy to pick up the phone and talk to contractors.
- Comfortable with everyday tools like spreadsheets and CRMs. Knowing Airtable is a bonus.
The details
- Location. London-based, essential. Three days a week in the office, two days optional working from home.
- Hours. 9:00am to 5:30pm.
- Duration. Two to three months, flexible.
- Pay. £1,000 per month.
- Start date. As soon as you can.
