Maintenance

You

You’re a caring, can-do person with experience working in building maintenance. Ideally, some of that has been gained in a care home setting. You’ve got a good basic education with GCSEs (or the equivalent) including English and Maths. As well as being very practical, you like dealing with people. You’re happy building good relationships with residents, colleagues and contractors. You’re a multi-tasker who can work well under pressure and use your initiative to solve problems. Above all, you’re a team player who takes pride in your work and is committed to maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for our residents.

Your role

The safety of our care home residents and staff is really important. So your role will be to make sure the premises and grounds are maintained to a high standard. You’ll perform regular checks, carry out repairs and, when needed, contact engineers or service agents. You’ll be confident doing fire, basic electrical and appliance checks. Faults must be reported and actioned promptly. We’ll also expect you to keep the grounds looking tidy and carry out general redecoration work. As our Maintenance Person, you’ll be a valuable member of our friendly, close-knit team, promoting the well-being of our residents and the successful running of our care home.

As Maintenance Person at Care UK, you can look forward to:

• Competitive pay – we pay more than the average
• Flexible hours
• Quality training to develop your skills
• Career progression
• Bank holiday enhancements
• Stakeholder pension
• Childcare vouchers
• Free uniform
• Thousands of online and in-store discounts

At Paisley Court we offer a warm welcome to residents and their families.

Paisley Court is a modern, purpose-built care home set in a quiet residential street in the Dovecot area of Liverpool. Our friendly, highly skilled team offers residential care to older people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. We specialise in caring for individuals with the most complex care needs arising from dementia.

Our team has advanced training in dementia care and a great deal of practical experience. We skilfully manage each person's unique needs in a dignified way. We love our residents and give every individual exactly what they require, offering them comfort and security at all times.

We make sure that residents really enjoy life by getting to know everyone on a personal level and building strong friendships. It helps us to organise activities that residents find engaging, fun and fulfilling.

We’re always here for residents’ families too – in fact, we’re happy to offer help, advice and support to anyone who comes through our door.
