Job Details

The opportunity

If you’re looking for a Gas Service and Repairs role and are ready to take on your next challenge then maybe this is the one for you!

You’ll need to be based at a commutable distance to the South of our region (Sheffield, Wakefield, Doncaster, Rotherham or Barnsley) but you may be expected to travel across the entire Yorkshire region now and again.

And what about us?

You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. Yes, we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and make it possible for current and future customers to have a place they’re proud to call home. We’re also all about making a positive difference in people’s lives. We’re transforming our business by investing in people, processes and technology to deliver a consistently great experience for our customers. 

What you'll be doing?

You will...

  • Carry out annual gas services, maintenance and diagnostics of gas boilers, heating systems and unvented cylinders
  • Utilise analytical and trade skills to diagnose and repair faults
  • Complete and submit gas safety records (via a tablet), identify and respond to risks while following manufacturer’s instructions and in accordance with the Gas Safety (installation and use) Regulations and Yorkshire Housings policies and procedures.
  • Provide an amazing service at all times for our customers and understand your responsibility in being a customer-facing operative and an ambassador for the organisation.
  • You’ll also work closely with the compliance team, ensuring work is undertaken safely and best practice is adhered to at all times.

The stuff that sets you apart

The successful candidate would be someone with previous experience in servicing and repairing gas appliances in a domestic housing environment at a high volume, and the ability to work alone on a variety of different boiler types and systems. You’ll be able to deal with different priorities and to tight deadlines while maintaining high standards of work.

You’ll also hold current ACS Certificates CCN1, CENWAT, HTR1 & CKR1 or equivalent and have a full UK Driving License.

Pssst. One of our values is ‘Be Yourself'. We’re passionate about inclusion and we’d love to hear from people from diverse backgrounds for this role.

What’s in it for you?

In return, we offer £35,322 for a 37.5-hour week with the opportunity for overtime when required, 25 days of annual leave (rising annually to 30 days) plus bank holidays. There will also be a callout payment in addition to the annual salary.

We also provide a fantastic reward package to suit everyone –a variety of amazing discounts via PerkBox, a great Healthcare cash plan called Health Shield and a contributory pension scheme where we will match your contributions up to 9%!  As well as our great benefits and a fantastic work environment, we’re absolutely a company that cares about its employees and its customers.

The finer print

If you are applying for this role internally you must inform your current line manager.

In this role you will cover our South region but you may also be expected to travel also across the entire Yorkshire region.

This vacancy is currently due to close on 21/08/2022, but we may close the role and interview sooner so we'd encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.

A basic DBS check will be required before commencing the role if successful.
