- Demonstrate a high standard of customer service skills to be able to deal with a diverse range of residents including vulnerable people.
- Have good IT skills as the role involves working on the Orchard housing repairs system.
- Have the ability to manage both direct labour and contractors and will ideally have previously worked in a similar role.
The successful candidate must hold a valid driving license and have access to a suitable vehicle.
