## Description

Haringey's Repair Service is seeking a skilled and dedicated Wet Trades Operative to join our responsive repairs team. This team is central to delivering a high-quality, resident-focused maintenance service across the Council's housing stock, ensuring all work complies with relevant procedures, health and safety standards, and housing regulations.

As a Wet Trades Operative, you'll be a vital part of our 'Right First Time' approach,completing repairs efficiently and professionally to reduce disruption for residents and improve service delivery. Your core responsibilities will include:

- Carrying out a range of plastering works across residential and public buildings

- Performing patch repairs, full wall skims, ceiling repairs, decorative finishes, and external render works

- Undertaking mould treatment and mould wash works in line with Council procedures, helping to improve living conditions and support healthy homes for residents

- Installing thermal boarding and associated insulation systems to improve energy efficiency, reduce condensation, and address damp and mould-related issues

- Applying your experience across other trades such as plumbing, painting, and tiling as part of a multi-trade team

- Attending scheduled assessments and meetings to confirm and maintain trade competencies

- Upholding high standards of workmanship and delivering excellent customer service

In addition to your core skills, you may also be required to undertake tasks across other trades. You'll work collaboratively with other trades and supervisors, responding to both scheduled and emergency repair requests. As a front-line representative of Haringey Council's repair service, you'll be working directly in residents' homes and other Council properties,making a meaningful impact every day.

The Responsive Repairs team is dedicated to exceeding performance expectations to ensure our customers receive the best possible experience. We foster a strong team spirit built on trust, a shared vision, and a clear sense of purpose. Together, we work hard, share laughter, and learn from one another every day. We prioritise developing potential, celebrating successes, and encouraging involvement at all levels. Ideas are welcomed, shared, and transformed into actionable outcomes, creating a dynamic and engaging workplace.

You will be an experienced and dedicated multi-trade operative with a demonstrable background in the building and trades industry. You'll hold an industry standard qualification, or equivalent recognised competency in one core trade such as roofing and ideally, you'll also have additional experience in at least one other trade, enabling you to confidently tackle jobs requiring more than one specialism.

You're someone with a 'can-do' approach to problem-solving, adept at tracing and carrying out repairs, resolving root cause issues like leaks, and seeing tasks through to completion. You'll be comfortable making urgent decisions when working independently in customers' homes. Experience of working within diverse communities is key, as well as excellent customer service, as you'll be a front-line representative of the Council.

At Haringey Council we are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce so welcome applications from all ethnicities and communities so that we continue to make a difference to our residents and community.

Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement up to 31 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and well-being support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture that provide both financial and money-saving discounts.
