Typical day as a Handy Person

- Once you?ve settled in, you?ll be expected to attend the morning meeting each morning to understand the priorities of the upcoming rooms.
- Following the repairs log to either complete the minor jobs or reporting these to an external contractor.
- Be ready to react to minor emergencies. Examples include repairs to doors and locks, minor plumbing repairs like changing tap washers.
- A keen eye and hand for any internal decor, you will be a dab hand with a paintbrush.
- So, the repairs you do are things that our repairs service might normally do but sometimes it makes life much easier for our customers if you get to them first.
- As we work tightly with other services within the Newcastle area, if they need a hand we?ll ask that you support where possible!
