Full job description

Multi-Skilled Maintenance Operative
Location: Across Lancashire – covering all six Active Pathways services and Evermore Care Homes sites in Chorley, Bamber Bridge, Fulwood, and Lancaster
Contract Type: Full-Time – 37.5 hours per week
Fixed-Term Contract (6 months)
Salary: £32,000 per annum, with overtime paid at £16.41 per hour

Are you a hands‑on problem‑solver with a passion for maintaining safe, efficient and well‑presented environments? Do you bring a broad base of maintenance skills — or a clear track record of developing them — across several technical areas? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We are expanding our Facilities & Maintenance team and are looking for a Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Operative who can bring adaptability, technical competence, and a proactive approach to maintaining our buildings, equipment, and grounds.

This role will suit somebody who has experience within a complex care environment and who can evidence either well‑rounded, multi‑trade maintenance skills or a strong development journey across a range of specialist maintenance areas.

Key Benefits

25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, equating to 33 days per year.
Additional annual leave awarded at 2 and 5 years’ service
Refer a Friend scheme – earn up to £500 per referral
Company Sick Pay – 5 days per year after 2 years’ service
Health Cash Plan – covers dental, optical, virtual GP, counselling, and includes discounted gym membership

About the Role

As a Multi‑Skilled Maintenance Operative, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining safe, compliant, and high‑quality environments across our sites. You’ll respond to day‑to‑day maintenance needs, deliver planned preventative work, and support small projects — ensuring our buildings remain well‑presented and fully functional for staff, service users, and visitors. Your key responsibilities will include:

Planned & Reactive Maintenance

Carrying out daily, weekly and monthly PPM tasks.
Responding promptly to maintenance requests and resolving faults efficiently.
Diagnosing and addressing basic electrical, plumbing, joinery and building‑fabric issues.

Multi‑Trade General Repairs

Completing varied repairs and practical tasks across multiple disciplines.
Supporting refurbishment work and small improvement projects.
Undertaking decorating, fixtures/fittings installations, and general building upkeep.

Building Safety & Compliance

Conducting routine H&S checks, fire safety tests and compliance record‑keeping.
Identifying hazards and taking corrective actions to maintain a safe environment.

Contractor & Team Support

Assisting with contractor inductions and coordinating on‑site activity.
Working across multiple sites and collaborating with wider operational teams.
Contributing to a safe, positive and well‑maintained environment for staff and service users.

About you

We’re looking for someone who brings technical breadth, not just depth in a single trade. You'll thrive in this role if you have:

Essential

Experience working across multiple maintenance disciplines (e.g., basic electrical, plumbing, HVAC checks, joinery, grounds, building fabric).
A strong problem‑solving mindset and confidence working independently.
A willingness and ability to work across different sites.
Good communication skills and a customer‑focused approach.

Desirable

Demonstrable career progression, training, or CPD showing you are developing multi‑trade capability.
Experience in settings such as residential care, housing, facilities management, education or similar environments.
An interest in upskilling further — we actively support ongoing development.
