You will turn your hand to all decorating and painting-related tasks as you work towards schedules and maintaining safe working practices when operating hand, power and workshop tools. This includes undertaking local risk assessments and following site security.

If you enjoy being on the move and using your skills to assist the service to create a supportive and caring environment, then apply today.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proper preparation of surfaces for painting.
• Applying paint, varnish, and other finishes using brushes, rollers, or sprayers (where risk assessed).
• Repairing and maintaining painted surfaces, including touch-ups and refinishing.
• Ensuring all decorating work is completed to a high standard and within project timelines.
• Assisting with the selection and procurement of painting and decorating materials through the correct protocol.

• Ability to work under pressure, and respond to the Regional Facilities Manager requests.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Where you will be working:

Our Kendal sites provide enhanced levels of support which allows people with continuing challenging behaviour and high support needs to be cared for in the least restrictive setting possible, but within a service which is robust and structured enough to meet their ongoing needs and risks.

The service ensures people lead positive and meaningful everyday lives, where they have choice and control, accessing mainstream services and facilities, engaging in work and training, in leisure opportunities, hobbies and areas of personal interest.

Residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible with the long-term aim of people moving onto a more independent living setting.

What you will get:

• Annual salary of £25,246 (Pro Rata).
• The equivalent of 33 days annual leave Pro rata (inc Bank Holidays) – plus your birthday off! (Pro Rata).
