Site Manager

Location: North East England area, with easy access to Seaham. Hybrid role
Job type: Full Time | Permanent Hours: 40hrs per week Salary: £43,000 per annum plus van, or allowance

Are you ready to lead with purpose and keep our communities thriving? We’re looking for a Site Manager to oversee repairs and maintenance at Anchor’s sheltered, retirement, and care homes for the over-55s. If you’re a problem-solver who loves delivering quality work and making residents smile, this role is your chance to shine.

As Site Manager, you’ll be the go-to person for coordinating and delivering top-notch repairs across our properties. Working hand-in-hand with the Delivery Manager and Productivity Planner, you’ll lead a site team to hit daily targets, ensure safety and quality, and keep everything running like clockwork. From ordering materials to tracking progress, you’ll make sure we meet our KPIs, follow regulations, and keep our residents happy.

• Take charge of daily repair plans, ensuring they’re completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.
• Keep health and safety front and centre—managing risks, following regulations, and promoting a safe work environment.
• Lead with a “can‑do” attitude, guiding your team and solving challenges to balance customer needs and resources.
• Order materials, manage van stock, and make sure your crew has what they need to get the job done.
• Track progress, update systems in real-time using IT tools, and report to the Head of Anchor Repairs & Property Services.
• Be the friendly face for residents and stakeholders, delivering great service and building strong relationships.
• Suggest fresh ideas to improve how we work and mentor teammates to help them grow.

You’re a practical, self‑motivated leader with a passion for repairs and customer care. We’d love to see:

• Experience in building construction, repairs, or maintenance—enough to know your stuff and get stuck in.
• A City & Guilds Level 3 NVQ (or equivalent experience); a time‑served apprenticeship is a bonus.
• Essential quals: CSCS card, a valid driving license, and health and safety training (asbestos awareness, working at height, manual handling).
• Solid knowledge of health and safety laws and how to apply them.
• Comfort with tech—think PDAs and IT systems for planning and updates.
• Great communication skills, a team‑player spirit, and a polite, professional vibe.

• This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to make a real difference for our over-55s residents. You’ll:
• Work in a forward‑thinking team that values innovation and collaboration.
• Play a key role in keeping our properties safe and comfortable.
• Get support to grow your skills, with training and mentoring opportunities.
• Enjoy a flexible, modern workplace that champions Anchor’s values and culture.
• Be part of our out-of-hours emergency rota (when needed) to keep things running smoothly.

We are unable to offer sponsorship for this position. Therefore, candidates must be able to demonstrate their legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.
