Are you a skilled Floor Layer who takes pride in high‑quality workmanship and wants to make a real difference to people’s homes? Join Reading Borough Council’s Housing Repairs Team, where your expertise helps keep more than 5,000 homes safe, comfortable and well‑maintained.

We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities.

About the Role:
Based at our Bennet Road Depot (Reading, RG2 0QX), you will carry out floor laying and associated repair work in a variety of Council-owned or managed properties including houses, flats, and maisonettes.

This role involves working mainly in occupied homes, so delivering excellent customer service and treating residents with respect is essential.

Your duties will include:

Installing a range of floor coverings including vinyl, laminate and modern flooring systems
Preparing subfloors and carrying out flooring repairs
Assessing materials required for jobs and collecting them from stores or suppliers
Completing work orders, job sheets and timesheets accurately
Maintaining high standards of workmanship and site cleanliness

Following health and safety procedures at all times

We provide:

A fully equipped council vehicle for work use

Strong customer‑service approach when working in occupied homes
Good attention to detail and pride in workmanship
Full UK driving licence (required for travelling between properties)

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.

Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success.

Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
Work Together as one team - work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do
Drive Efficiency - show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential
Be Ambitious - be demanding of our own performance – striving to be even better – and be prepared to engage with and challenge leaders in a constructive and positive way
Make a Difference to Reading - maintain the highest levels of customer service and be flexible and willing to provide the services needed at the time they are needed

Our offer:
We offer a supportive environment to grow and develop your career with the opportunity to put your ideas across. Innovation and ambition is strongly encouraged, and you’ll get a great feel for that working in our friendly and collaborative environment.

A competitive salary alongside a range of benefits including:

Generous holiday entitlement - 25 days holiday each year plus bank holidays - rising to 33 days after 10 years' service, with the option to buy additional leave
A wide range of flexible working opportunities
Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
