We’re passionate about delivering high-quality, customer-focused services to our residents and we put their needs at the heart of everything we do. If you’re a skilled plumber who takes pride in your work, values professionalism, and enjoys making a real difference in your community, we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you're newly qualified and looking to build your experience in a supportive environment, or an experienced plumber seeking a change from large commercial sites, this role offers a refreshing alternative. You’ll work on a variety of domestic and communal properties, where your expertise directly improves the lives of local residents.

We offer both full-time and part-time opportunities, making this a great fit for those who value flexibility, work-life balance, and meaningful work.

In this role, you will benefit from enrolment in our career average local government pension scheme, a generous annual leave entitlement which starts at 25 days plus bank holidays and increases with service, a whole host of family-friendly benefits, 1 days’ paid volunteering leave per year, access to a lifestyle benefits platform, a health cashback plan, provision of a works vehicle, and £10 a month gym membership at one of our four gyms in the district.

What will you do as part of the role?

• Carry out required plumbing repairs and maintenance operations
• Carry out other repairs and maintenance works in line with your skills and expertise
• Provide a high level of customer service to our tenants
• Work effectively with the aim of completing works on a ‘right first time’ basis
• Ensure safe working practices are always followed
• Ensure accurate records are maintained
• Work closely with colleagues across the Housing Maintenance and Asset Management Business Unit to deliver to a consistently high standard

We are looking for people who want to use their skills and expertise to have a positive impact on the lives of residents. You will also:

• Have experience of installation and maintenance in domestic and commercial properties.
• Hold City & Guilds / NVQ Level 2, or equivalent, certificate in Plumbing.

Due to the nature of the role, a full driving licence is essential.

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.
