  • Ensure high quality service is provided with the management of the work scheduling in accordance with company procedures, standards and SLAs
  • Represent Wates at client and resident performance meetings as requested by the Operations Manager
  • Manage the responsive repairs function to ensure consistent performance against targets

To be successful in the role you must also be an excellent communicator with the ability to problem solve, multi task and work to tight deadlines. Prior responsive maintenance experience is crucial to the role. You must also have your SSSTS qualification as a minimum.

 

Given the nature of this position, you will need to undergo a Basic Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) at offer stage.

Additionally, certain roles may be subject to additional pre-employment checks.

WPS is proud to be an employer where anyone can thrive, and we welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.  We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement, as we value transferable skills and assess all applications fairly.

We don't discriminate based on a criminal record; all applications are reviewed on an individual basis against the requirements of the role. Some roles may require additional checks, due to the nature of the work.  As a Disability Confident Leader, we offer an interview to applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the role and opt in to the Disability Confident scheme.  Reasonable adjustments are available, please contact us at wpsrecruitment@wates.co.uk
