What you’ll be doing You’ll be completing a range of carpentry works including fitting kitchen units, kitchen worktops, plinths, wall tiling, bath panels and hanging doors, both internal and external.

A working knowledge of other trades, such as plumbing, is also required, with the ability to use this knowledge as directed by your line manager. You’ll be working in our customers’ homes, so you’ll have a customer service focus to get to the bottom of problems and find the right solution.
