Mobile Caretaker

Nottinghamshire (Newark and surrounding areas)

Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm

Company van + fuel card (take home)

3-month initial contract

We’re working with a housing team to recruit a Mobile Caretaker / Neighbourhood Operative to support estates across Newark. This is a hands‑on, outdoor role where you’ll act as the “eyes and ears” of the estate, helping to maintain safe, clean and well‑managed neighbourhoods. You’ll be part of a supportive housing team, working alongside Housing Officers to engage with tenants and undertake minor maintenance tasks.

No two days are the same – perfect if you enjoy working independently and being out in the community.

• Drive between estates (van provided – can take home)
• Carry out regular estate inspections and patrols
• Report and respond to issues such as:
  • Fly‑tipping
  • Litter and dog fouling
  • General estate condition
• Put up notices / warning letters where required
• Speak with residents and support tenancy matters (e.g., access requests like gas checks)
• Carry out basic DIY (e.g., minor repairs, gates, small fixes)
• Act as a visible, approachable presence within the community
• Work closely with housing teams and elevate any concerns

• Full UK driving licence (ideally clean)
• Happy working outdoors and travelling between sites
• Good communication skills – able to speak confidently with residents
• Reliable, practical and self‑motivated
• Experience in caretaking, estates or facilities management or housing (desirable)
