The position offers a significant focus on professional development and work-life balance, highlighted by flexible working arrangements and a supportive environment. Additional benefits include a generous annual leave entitlement, access to an excellent pension scheme, and various staff discounts. The Trust values diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace, welcoming applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
Following the vacation of an existing post, a new opportunity is available within the Goole and District Hospital Maintenance team.
A maintenance career within the NHS has so much to offer. The working environment is very diverse and the equipment can be highly specialised and unique to healthcare. No two days will be alike when you work within an acute hospital setting. The diverse nature of the work could see you working in the corridors of the hospital, or within plant rooms that serve the operating theatres, numerous mechanical plants and medical gas systems, emergency standby generators and also the wards to name but a few areas.
An Estates Maintenance Assistant plays a key role in the Estates Engineering Maintenance Services. Working a three shift pattern, the post holder will support the Team Leader and Estates Officers alongside the Maintenance team in the delivery of maintenance programmes that will contribute to the Trust's objectives being carried out in a safe, cost-effective, efficient manner and compliant with legislation, Health Technical Memorandums (HTM) and good practice.
The post holder will undertake works relating to the maintenance and repairs of Trust properties, equipment, grounds and gardens ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, HTMs, Trust policies and procedures to ensure a clean, safe and functional environment for patients, public and staff to support the delivery of patient care.
Your professional development and career progression is also important and there are various ways to continuously develop and further your career within the NHS.
Those already working here admit that a major advantage is the great work-life balance, teamwork and the ability to make a difference. Working locally and being at home at the end of the working day is a huge selling point, as many of our employees have endured the long-distance travel involved with other jobs which can eventually take its toll. In addition to this, you will receive a generous annual leave entitlement, access to an excellent pension scheme, staff benefits including discount schemes and the staff lottery.
