Here at Housing Jobs, we're very pleased to hear the Statford-based Housing Association, Orbit Heart of England, has extended its maintenance and repairs team, creating 100 new local jobs.
The Orbit Heart of England property matters team, which is now 170-strong following the recruitment of 50 new members, is responsible for maintenance and improvements to 14,000 properties across the north and south Midlands. The new employees gathered at the DCS Stadium in Stratford this week to collect their new uniforms, pick up their new vans and undergo induction training.
The Housing Association currently employs more than 700 people mostly in the Midlands.
Paul Clifford, maintenance director, said: “Becoming part of our property matters team gives tradespeople access to top level training across all areas of their work as well as experience of working with sustainable technologies.
“It also gives our residents peace of mind that the people working in their homes have been trained to the highest of standards.”
Once completing their inductions, the employees will join the existing property matters trade team to deliver repair and maintenance services for Orbit Heart of England customers who are based across the north and south Midlands.
To see which other organisations are currently recruiting, have a look at the Housing Jobs website.
