The environment is designed to feel homely, calm, and engaging, with a strong focus on quality of life, independence, and community living. Residents are supported to remain active and involved in daily life, with care built around meaningful activities rather than routine alone.

• Ensure the building, facilities, and grounds are safe, secure, and well-maintained
• Maintain outdoor areas and gardens, contributing to a calm and therapeutic environment
• Conduct routine inspections and ensure compliance with health & safety standards
• Respond promptly to maintenance requests from staff
• Coordinate with external contractors when required
• Support the upkeep of communal areas and shared spaces

• Previous experience in a maintenance or facilities role
• Practical skills across a range of trades
