Tired of chasing your tail from one reactive job to the next with no time to do the work properly?

There's a different kind of maintenance role waiting for you.

At Strathalan Community, your work directly shapes the comfort, safety and dignity of the people who call this community home. This isn't a job where you're just fixing things and moving on. Instead, you'll get to know the residents, understand the site, and take genuine pride in keeping it running smoothly.

If you're ready for steady, structured days and a role where your work is genuinely valued, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

• Liaise professionally with residents, families, staff and contractors day to day
• Keep accurate records and report on works performed in line with policy and compliance standards
• Look after tools, equipment and site safety, reporting hazards and defects as they arise

This is your opportunity to take real ownership of a site and make a visible difference to the people who live there.
