Make a Lasting Impact in Your Community

Are you a dedicated painter who takes pride in your craft and wants to make a genuine difference? We’re expanding our Damp and Mould Team and looking for someone who’s not only skilled in painting and maintenance, but also passionate about improving homes and lives across the Newark and Sherwood District.

In this rewarding role, you’ll deliver high-quality repairs and mould treatment services to a wide range of domestic and commercial properties — helping to create safer, healthier living environments for local residents. Whether it’s restoring a family’s home or revitalising a community space, your work will directly contribute to the wellbeing of the people we serve.

If you hold a City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 in Painting (or equivalent), have proven experience in decorating and damp/mould treatment, and access to your own vehicle, we’d love to welcome you to a team that values professionalism, purpose, and pride in every job.

We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking Council with strong values and a culture of doing our absolute best to serve our customers. We are proud of our organisational culture and receive positive feedback from our employees. We have a programme of internal activity to ensure that the voices of our employees are always heard and that they are kept informed on all Council activity and events. From roadshows to an annual award ceremony, from reviewing working arrangements to our Hug in a Mug initiative, it is incredibly important our employees are shown how valued they are and that they remain the beating heart of our workplace.

We offer:

• Enrolment in our career-average local government pension scheme.
• A generous annual leave entitlement, increasing with service.
• Family-friendly benefits and 1 day's paid volunteering leave per year.
• Access to a lifestyle benefits platform and a funded health cashback plan.
• Provision of a works vehicle.
• £10 a month gym membership at one of our four gyms in the district.

You will be working with a professional, committed and experienced team who are passionate about supporting us to deliver the objectives as outlined in our Community Plan.
