• Completing job sheets, photographs and relevant paperwork
• Keeping residents and clients informed while work is being completed
• Ensuring properties are left clean, tidy and safe
• Completing work correctly and to a high standard first time
• Following company health and safety procedures

The Ideal Candidate
