Job description

Day-to-day planned preventative maintenance and reactive works to the building fabric and associated equipment found across an acute hospital and comm...

Carry out planned preventative maintenance routines and reactive maintenance works as instructed by the Supervisor, providing feedback to line management using various forms of communication.

The Multi-Skilled Maintenance Craftsperson (Carpentry Bias) is responsible for delivering planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive repairs and minor installation works across Whittington Health's hospital and community estate. The post holder will undertake a wide range of carpentry, joinery and general building fabric maintenance to ensure Trust buildings remain safe, compliant and fit for purpose for patients, staff and visitors.

Working as part of the Estates Maintenance Team, the post holder will carry out repairs to doors, fire doors, locks, windows, ceilings, flooring, partitions, shelving and other building fabric, as well as minor decorating and general maintenance duties. The role also requires flexibility to undertake basic maintenance tasks across other trade disciplines where trained and competent.

The post holder will work independently and as part of a multi-skilled team, responding to planned and reactive maintenance requests, maintaining accurate maintenance records and ensuring all work is completed safely in accordance with Health & Safety legislation, Trust policies, COSHH and Permit to Work procedures.

The successful candidate will provide a professional and customer-focused service, communicate effectively with clinical and non-clinical staff, support emergency maintenance when required, participate in mandatory training and undertake any other reasonable duties appropriate to the grade to support the efficient operation of the Estates Department.

Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
