Estates & Trades Team Assistant

Our staff team is wholehearted about their work, proud of the difference they make, and united by a
shared commitment to our tenants and the wider Orkney community.

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. Each year,  this hardworking team carries out over 1,800 repairs across Orkney - everything from urgent call-outs to planned maintenance, and covering a wide range of trades. The small knit team are a vital cog and we’re now looking for someone like you to join them.

This is a hands-on, varied role that sits at the core of our repair and maintenance services. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality work across our estates and assets, contributing to the smooth running of our operations. We’re looking for someone reliable, adaptable, and motivated. Someone who can work well independently, while also being a supportive team player. Professionalism, great
communication, and a positive, problem-solving attitude are key. 

In return, we offer an energetic 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 as part of it.

If you’re ready for a new challenge, take pride in your work, and enjoy making a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you.
