Closing Date: Tuesday 5th May 2026, 5PM.
About the role:
We have an exciting opportunity for a Multi Skilled Painter to join our Property Maintenance and Construction Department working within our Ashington maintenance team.
As a Multi Skilled Painter, you will be responsible for undertaking all painting and decorating repairs along with associated multi skilled tasks to both domestic, void and commercial properties, ensuring work is completed to a high standard and delivering excellent customer service.
About you:
To be successful in this role you will have a flexible approach and experience working within a domestic and commercial property maintenance and target driven environment. At Bernicia we are customer focused in everything we do, so you will have outstanding customer service skills, communicating effectively with a wide range of people to deliver a first-class repairs service.
You will be required to engage with all stakeholders of the service, acting as an Ambassador of Bernicia, promoting and endorsing the positive work that we do across our communities in the Bernicia way. We at Bernicia put people at the heart of everything we do, and it’s important that we deliver a first-class customer service where we are proud to be recognised for the quality service we provide.
At Bernicia we don’t stand still; we are always looking to enhance our customer experience. You will be able to contribute positively to change, adapting to new ways of working so we can improve and enhance our service.
For the technical bit, you will have a sound working knowledge of painting and decorating and exhibit understanding of the wider building construction sector, including components, materials, building trades and relevant regulations. It is therefore essential that you hold a City and Guilds Craft Certificate in Painting & Decorating or the equivalent. An appropriate CSCS card is desirable, and a full driving licence is essential. You will also be able to show experience working in a customer focused environment where the customer is always the priority.
The Benefits:
* 36 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
* Company van & fuel card when required
* Health cash plan membership so you can save money by claiming cash back – over £1000 each year - towards essential healthcare such as dental, optical, physio and loads more. We’ll also cover the costs of including any dependent children in the scheme – up to the age of 21 or 24 if in full time education – that you may have.
* Access to savings on gym memberships plus cash back and discounts on purchases from major retailers including supermarkets, travel, cinema and more.
* Generous pension scheme.
* A number of training and development opportunities
* All power tools, equipment and workwear provided
About us:
* We’re all about helping people in need of housing. We believe a good home makes lots of other things possible, so we provide great homes and services that do just that.
* We’ve built Bernicia to be a business that people want to be a part of. We’re one of the North East’s largest and most successful housing providers; building, renting, selling and managing homes as well as providing services to over 60,000 customers.
* We operate within a set of simple, but effective values, which blend perfectly to create our unique ‘Bernicia Way’ culture. This ensures we are customer focused, through working together, respecting each other, being accountable for our actions and demonstrating integrity and leadership.
So, if you want to join an organisation that is passionate about people and believes in delivering quality customer service to our tenants, we’d love to hear from you.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than advertised, should we receive a large volume of applications.
