LittleInch is a family-owned care home operator with two homes in Renfrewshire, Inchinnan and Rashielee, a mile apart. We are recruiting a Maintenance Supervisor to lead the maintenance function across both sites.
This is a new role, designed for someone who wants to own how maintenance is run, not just work through a job list. You will set the planned maintenance schedule, choose and manage contractors, hold the compliance, run the budget and lead a small in-house team. You will also be on the tools yourself: this is a working supervisor role, not a desk job.
What we offer
- Salaried, 37.5 hour week, equivalent to £20.50 per hour (£39,975 per year)
- On-call attendance pay for genuine out-of-hours emergencies
- Petty cash float and ordering authority for the function
- Two pool cars and a minibus available for travel between sites; you will not be expected to use your own vehicle
- Free parking at both homes
- Confidential staff counselling service
- Workwear provided
- Subsidised staff café on shift
- Blue Light Card access
- Thirteen paydays a year (four-weekly pay cycle)
- Direct access to the directors. We are family-owned, visible and quick to decide.
The role
Reporting to the Managing Director, you will:
- Lead the in-house maintenance team across both homes: allocate work, supervise, induct and mentor.
- Develop and operate a planned preventative maintenance schedule across buildings, plant and grounds.
- Take operational ownership of Health and Safety and Fire Safety compliance, working with our regulatory partners, fire risk assessor and specialist contractors.
- Manage the statutory regime: legionella checks, fire alarm and emergency lighting tests, fire door inspections, PAT testing, LOLER inspections.
- Manage contractors: scope, induct, supervise, sign off and verify certification.
- Own maintenance ordering, including Toolstation, and consolidate purchases and site trips.
- Run the petty cash float with weekly reconciliation with the Finance Manager.
- Schedule works to minimise disruption to residents and care delivery.
- Carry out hands-on maintenance within your trade competency.
- Identify capital works and provide costed proposals.
- Act as the on-call point of contact for maintenance emergencies.
About you
- Multi-trade experience preferred: joinery, electrical or plumbing background, with the confidence to work across other trades.
- Trade qualification or equivalent experience in building, mechanical or general maintenance.
- Demonstrable supervisory experience in a maintenance, facilities or trades setting.
- Health and Safety competence (IOSH Managing Safely or equivalent), or willingness to undertake.
- Familiarity with statutory compliance in a regulated environment, whether care, hospitality, education or housing.
- Comfortable with planning, recordkeeping and contractor management. Good IT literacy.
- Full UK driving licence. D1 entitlement (minibus) a positive.
