Job overview
Please note: Although this role is being advertised by East Lancashire Hospitals Trust, the role is based at, and working on behalf of, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust properties through the One Lancashire and South Cumbria (One LSC) corporate collaboration.
The Estates department at Furness General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftsperson, and dedicated support staff.
We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Maintenance Assistant to join us. You should be experienced in general property maintenance, groundskeeping, and/or handyman duties.
Main duties of the job
This is a highly rewarding role. Working under the relevant Estates Officer, the successful candidate will embark on a challenging adventure, safely, efficiently, and with patient and staff safety at the heart of their focus.
Working as part of a team, and individually, you will be required to carry out semi-skilled maintenance work within acute and community NHS properties. You will support and assist trade staff to undertake routine maintenance, fault finding/repair, and installation work to allow a safe and fit for purpose environment for patients, visitors, and staff.
The successful candidate must be able to self-motivate, work relatively unsupervised, and be a good communicator. A healthcare background would be advantageous but not essential - as specific training will be provided. There are also opportunities to train as a tradesperson and gain a full trade apprenticeship over time.
This post is based at Furness General Hospital.
