We’re on the lookout for an Electrician to join our EICR team on a permanent basis.

This is an exciting opportunity if you want to make a real difference. We believe in life without barriers. If you aren’t sure you meet 100% of the criteria but think you would be great in this role, don’t let that stop you; we would love to hear from you. We’re interested in your skills, knowledge and experience, as well as your personal values. We’re committed to supporting everyone here at believe housing and being an inclusive organisation.

Although this role is advertised as full-time, we will consider part-time, job share and alternative working pattern proposals where possible. We appreciate the challenge of modern life and finding time outside of the day-to-day can be difficult, we already offer a shorter working week with an opportunity to work four slightly longer days and enjoy a non-working day of your choice.

All aspects of the role will be undertaken using a semi–skilled whole job repair approach providing excellent service standards, using a customer centric approach to service delivery.

The successful candidate will:

  • Undertake all aspects of the role, in a way that is agile and flexible.
  • Adopt a multi–skilled whole job repair approach to the work, that achieves believe housing and recognised industry standards of compliance, quality and productivity.
  • Take responsibility for individual performance, productivity and customer satisfaction.
  • Operate ICT hardware and systems in line with protocols, in an effective and efficient way, receiving and updating accurate and relative information when required and in real time.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of the service, by suggesting initiatives that may improve service delivery and working positively to champion, develop and implement any new ideas/processes that are introduced.

what’s on offer?

Our people are our greatest asset, which is why we value you, encourage you, look after you, and empower you.

As well as a competitive salary of £34,944 per annum, some of our top benefits and rewards include:

  • 31-33 days of annual leave
  • working the believe way allows us to be more agile in the ways we work and creates a great work-life balance
