- Covering areas including (but not limited to): Nottingham
- Locations may vary depending on contracts, and you may occasionally travel further afield. We will help with transport where possible
- A driving licence isn’t needed straight away, but you’ll be expected to work towards obtaining one so you can travel to sites independently once qualified. It’s your responsibility to travel to an agreed pick‑up location in the meantime

- Moving or repairing broken tiles or slates
- Working safely at height and use access equipment
- Working both inside and outside in all weather, whether it’s boiling hot or freezing cold!
