We are seeking an experienced and versatile Head of Maintenance to take responsibility for the ongoing upkeep of a portfolio of high-quality properties located across the South of England.

This is a hands-on role that requires broad maintenance expertise, strong initiative, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

• Maintain outdoor spaces — mowing, pruning, weeding, planting, hedge trimming, and clearing paths
• Diagnose issues, resolve them promptly, and escalate or bring in specialists when required
• Ensure all maintenance work is completed to a high standard and within deadlines
• Work closely with internal teams and external contractors to coordinate ongoing works

✅ Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven hands-on experience in maintenance, with skills across carpentry, plumbing, basic electrics, decorating, and general repairs
• Practical gardening experience (1 year+ preferred)
• Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
• Ability to prioritise tasks, manage time independently, and take ownership of responsibilities
• Clear and confident communication skills
• Team-oriented with a can-do attitude

Driving & Transport:

• Valid UK driving licence (required)
• Comfortable driving vans across multiple sites
• Willingness to assist with collections, deliveries, and vehicle loading/unloading as needed

Location:

Work will be based in person across various sites primarily between sites in both Surrey and London.

Schedule:

• Monday to Friday: 9:00am – 6:00pm
• Flexitime available
• Some weekend availability may be required
