We have exciting opportunities for Electricians to join our Property Services team here at Yorkshire Housing! We aim to provide a high quality and efficient service, carrying out all aspects of electrical work in properties owned or managed by Yorkshire Housing and are looking for individuals who want to make this happen.

Who are we:

We are proud to be a housing association that owns and manages more than 18,000 homes across Yorkshire and we’re developing thousands more. Our ambition is that everyone has the opportunity to live in a quality home they can afford and our team play a vital role in making this happen -we provide repairs, maintenance and installation work as well as delivering a cyclical inspection and testing programme and we are looking for four electricians across the region to join us.

What does the role involve:

This is a key role with responsibility for carrying out electrical Periodic Inspection, Testing and Reporting, fault diagnosis, repairs and upgrades and associated work for customers and other buildings as instructed to a satisfactory standard. 

• You will also undertake general electrical work, to occupied and void properties. You will identify and record any defects found, report parts/work required and communicate effectively with scheduling staff to ensure the best outcome for our customers.

• The hours for this role are 37.5 per week, worked Monday to Friday.  You may also be required to participate in an out of hours on call rota to cover emergencies, for which a standby allowance is paid. Overtime will also be available.

In order to be successful in this fast-paced role, you will need to hold an NVQ Level 3 electrical qualification and ideally 18th Edition wiring regulations and 2391 Inspection and Testing (or equivalent) and have demonstrable experience in inspection, testing and certification, electrical installations, fault finding and repairs. As our work is carried out remotely we also require our Electricians to have working IT knowledge and a full driving licence is essential for this role.

What can you expect:

In return we offer £29,277 for a 37.5 hour week with the opportunity for overtime when available, 25 days annual leave (raising annually to 30 days) plus Bank Holidays. We also have a really good reward package to suit everyone – from a variety of retail discounts to a contributory pension scheme where we will match your contributions up to 9%!

We will also provide a vehicle for work, smart devices, test equipment and plant, uniform and all PPE. In summary – good base pay for 37.5 hours, overtime potential, great benefits and a fantastic work environment in a company that cares about its employees and its customers.

Our values:

What’s more - we’re big on hiring based on our values and are looking for people who are committed to our company values, demonstrating this by:

Respect:  communicating confidently with colleagues and customers equally

Reliability: working independently taking initiative where needed but also work to support your colleagues

Enthusiasm: focussing on the needs of our customers whilst working safely and to the highest standards.

Where will I work?

We need to operate across the entire Yorkshire region, but we aim wherever possible to deploy work to our Electricians with consideration to their home locations, as such we would be particularly interested in hearing from Electricians in the York, Malton, Keighley, Skipton and Wakefield areas.

So if you want to be part of the team that makes a real positive difference everyday and work for an organisation that prioritises its people and its customers then we want to hear from you!
