Ey up! Are you looking for a Gas Service and Repairs role, working for an organisation that makes a real difference in peoples’ lives?  

Well, you’re in the right place. 

We're recruiting a Gas Service Repair Engineer to join the fantastic Yorkshire Housing Gas Team in the Barnsley area. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

How much? 

We pay £39,707.01 for a 37.5-hour week. 

You’ll get 25 days of paid annual leave (rising annually to 30) plus Bank Holidays. We offer a fantastic pension scheme and will match your contribution up to 9%. 

You can also claim back for medical appointments, prescriptions and more through our colleague cash plan, and access thousands of retail discounts with Perkbox. 

When? 

You’ll work a 37.5-hour week, and your contracted hours will be between 8am-8pm (Mon-Fri). Between October and April, you will be on a rota and occasionally carry out services on a Saturday morning as part of your contracted hours, and there’s the opportunity to work overtime when required. 

Where? 

You’ll be based predominantly in the Barnsley & Wakefield area. From time to time, you might be asked to travel to other locations across Yorkshire. 

With who? 

You’ll work with an experienced, dynamic, and friendly team across the region, and receive training from our experts to ensure you meet our quality guidelines. 

And what about us? 

You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. 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. 

Our service doesn’t stop once the keys are in the door, and as part of our Gas team, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our tenants feel safe, valued, and proud to live in a Yorkshire Housing home from day one. Are you interested yet? 

What you’ll be doing 

You’ll carry out annual gas services/safety checks and maintain gas boilers/heating systems following the manufacturer’s instructions, in accordance with the Gas Safety (installation and use) Regulations and Yorkshire Housings policies and procedures. 

You’ll be the face of Yorkshire Housing to many of our tenants. So, respectful, warm and professional communication is a key part of this role. 

You’ll also work closely with the compliance team in ensuring work is undertaken safely. 

The stuff that sets you apart 

This role would suit someone with previous experience in servicing, installing, and repairing gas boilers and appliances in a high-volume domestic environment. 

You’ll be able to deal with different priorities and work to deadlines, whilst maintaining high standards of work. 

You’ll hold current ACS Certificates CCN1, CENWAT, HTR1 & CKR1 or equivalent.
