What we're looking for:

An Estate Services Caretaker is a varied and vital role. From periodic cleaning tasks to carrying out appropriate safety and security checks, you’ll keep our serviced estate, blocks, and community facilities clean, tidy, and graffiti and litter-free. 🚮

Our Caretakers identify equipment defects, vandalism, graffiti and necessary communal repairs, reporting these to the appropriate colleague or contractor. It’s a responsive and proactive role. 🛠

Gardeners: Are you skilled in all things horticultural – from planting and maintaining flower beds, hedges and turf, to using power and manual garden tools? 🌿 Are you great at organising your own workload and working with minimal supervision, even in adverse weather conditions?

A valid UK driving licence is preferred, however, it is not essential for all roles.

If this sounds like you, this maybe the perfect role for you!

These roles will require a basic DBS which will be applied for by Peabody, if you are successful.
