At the heart of our Association is a small, dedicated Trades Team who play a vital role in supporting our tenants and maintaining our properties.

This is a hands-on, varied role that sits at the core of our repair and maintenance services.

In return, we offer a dynamic working environment, with ongoing support,
training, and opportunities to develop your skills. You’ll be part of a team that takes pride in what they do and we’ll make sure you feel valued and equipped to do your best work.
