Coastline Housing is a charitable social landlord serving Cornwall. Winners in the Third Sector category at the Cornwall Business Awards and one of the fastest growing landlords in the country, we are proud to be a key provider of housing and support in Cornwall. That includes social housing for thousands of people across Cornwall, plus shared ownership and rent to buy homes to help people get a home of their own.

Our Extra Care scheme in Redruth houses many older people, and our services for anyone experiencing homelessness help hundreds each year who are rough sleeping.

Accredited with Investors in People Gold, Investors in Volunteers, a Menopause Workplace Pledge and Disability Confident Leader, we are a proven, people-focused employer, putting customers and colleagues at the heart of what we do.

Please notify our recruitment team if you would like:

• Help accessing the job information;
• Need the application details in a different format;
• Require any adjustments to the application process to support any disabilities or different needs you may have

If we have advertised for a full-time position but your preference is to work part-time or flexibly, please do give us a call so we can discuss these options with you. While some roles do require a full-time postholder, wherever we can accommodate a flexible way of working we will do so for the right candidate. It is more important to us that we have the right people in our organisation, rather than just people who can work full-time.

We are looking for a skilled and reliable Electrician to join our Trades, Repairs and Delivery team. You will play a key role in ensuring the safety, compliance and functionality of electrical systems across our homes, while delivering an excellent repairs and maintenance service to our customers. You will have a good standard of education and hold 2360 Parts 1 and 2, an NVQ/EAL Level 3 in Electrical Installation, or an equivalent qualification.

A valid CSCS card is required, but if you do not currently hold one we will support you to obtain it. Working in our customers' homes, you will have experience of dealing with the public and delivering excellent customer service that Coastline is known for. You will also be able to complete risk assessments and method statements to ensure work is carried out safely and in line with relevant standards.

You will be self‑motivated, flexible and have a strong work ethic, with the ability to work comfortably both independently and as part of a team. A full UK driving licence is essential, and the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic DBS check. Females are currently under‑represented in some of our Service Repairs teams and we are committed to improving gender balance across the organisation.

We are taking positive action to support this, and will guarantee the offer of an interview to candidates who identify as female and meet the essential requirements of the vacancy.
