Using the latest technology we ensure properties are well maintained, efficient and fit for purpose.

Our NHS maintenance healthcare team in Sidcup provides a planned, preventative and reactive maintenance service for a large acute NHS trust. To enable us to continue to deliver an excellent quality of service, we are looking for a multi skilled plumber / maintenance plumber to join the team.

This is a varied role will involve providing repairs (responsive and planned) with a particular emphasis on plumbing but the role will also involve being involved with other general maintenance works. You will be working in a mobile role maintaining a number of healthcare sites in a small patch in North Kent. 

What we can offer you;

• Competitive starting salary
• A company van, fuel card and uniform.
• a full time permanent position. Normal working hours are 8am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday. You will also participate in an on call rota for emergency repairs where you will receive a standby allowance and overtime paid at time and a half or double time depending on day/time of call out.
