Property Maintenance Operative  - Level 2 Apprenticeship

Hours: Monday – Friday 8am – 4pm

We are looking to recruit a Property Maintenance Apprentice to join our small but dedicated Maintenance team. You will be required to assist in the smooth running of the Main Bakery, Offices, Cookery School, and our 4 retail outlets.

As a Property Maintenance Apprentice, you will interact with the Maintenance team, specialist trades people, landlords and property owners, and the staff that work within or residents that occupy buildings. Property Maintenance Operatives assist in the location of repair works to be carried out, and to obtain further information and clarification as required by the customer. You will use a range of information gathering and communication techniques to do this, whilst recording and reporting information in a variety of ways including using digital technology. Whilst much of the time may be working inside the buildings, operatives will be regularly required to work outside, conducting maintenance and repairs to properties. This will include external drainage, brick and blockwork, glazing, fencing and groundworks.
