Property Maintenance Assistant

Founded in 2004, Boaz Trust currently has a portfolio of 15 properties across Greater Manchester, providing safe shared homes for people seeking sanctuary. Keeping those homes in good condition matters deeply to us, and this is a new role created to make sure we're looking after our buildings consistently and proactively, so the people living in them feel properly at home. 

Having a home is an essential foundation from which people who have often experienced significant trauma can begin to rebuild their lives. 

Our work is rooted in compassion, dignity and justice, ensuring people seeking sanctuary are not left without a safe place to stay. You can read more about our vision, mission and values here.

People living in Boaz houses have faced homelessness following a decision on their asylum claim. They've often experienced persecution, trauma, hostility and racism, and a well-maintained, welcoming home is not a small thing in that context. The work you'll be doing directly contributes to people feeling safe and settled.

This is a practical, varied role spread across two days a week. You'll be out and about between our properties carrying out minor repairs, replacing fixtures and fittings, painting and decorating, keeping outdoor spaces tidy and making sure communal areas are clean and presentable. You'll do regular property checks, flag anything that needs specialist contractors, and liaise with them when works are underway. It's mostly independent working, with support from our Property Manager, Phil Barker. A driving licence and your own vehicle will be essential.

We're looking for someone who takes real pride in doing a job well and brings a respectful, friendly approach to the people they meet along the way. You'll need solid practical skills and good health and safety awareness. Beyond that, we want someone who is reliable, honest, and comfortable working in people's homes with care and discretion. 

If you're motivated by work that makes a tangible difference to people's lives, we'd love to hear from you. Click the link to find out more about this role and how to apply - here
