Labourer – Anchor Repairs & Property Services

Location: Anchor Repairs & Property Services, North East
Department: Anchor Repairs & Property Services
Reports to: Site Manager

Are you a hands-on team player who loves keeping things moving? We’re looking for a Labourer to join our site team at Anchor Repairs & Property Services (ARPS), supporting repairs and maintenance for sheltered, retirement, and care homes for the over-55s. If you’re reliable, enthusiastic, and ready to roll up your sleeves, this is your chance to help us deliver quality work that makes a difference!

What’s the Role About?

As a Labourer, you’ll be the backbone of our site team, assisting with the day-to-day running of projects under the Site Manager’s guidance. From unloading deliveries to keeping the site tidy, you’ll pitch in across the board to ensure we meet our quality and safety standards—helping create homes our residents can rely on.

What You’ll Do:

• Support the team by assisting with general trade tasks, following company policies and safety regs.
• Help maintain top-notch quality by sticking to material and workmanship standards.
• Keep work areas clean and organized, and look after company tools like they’re your own.
• Hold keys for communal areas and meter cupboards, stepping up to provide access when needed.
• Liaise with clients, head office, and others to keep communication flowing smoothly.
• Coordinate materials—think loading, unloading, and making sure supplies are ready to go.
• Complete site paperwork accurately and on time.
• Stay safe by using the right gear and keeping the company van in good nick.

Who We’re Looking For:

You’re a practical, can-do person who’s happy to muck in and get the job done. We’d love to see:

• Previous experience in trades or construction—enough to know your way around a site.
• A full, clean UK driving license (a must-have).
• Some understanding of health and safety rules and how things work in local government or partnerships.
• Great organizational skills and a professional, friendly attitude.
• Comfort with basic tech like MS Office for keeping records.
• Enthusiasm, flexibility, and the ability to work solo or with the crew.

Why Join Us?

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to support our residents and be part of a tight-knit team. You’ll:

• Work on meaningful projects that keep our communities safe and comfortable.
• Join a crew that values your effort and reliability.
• Get to flex your skills in a role with variety and purpose.

Why It Matters:

You’ll help us deliver a top-quality service, keeping sites running smoothly and residents happy. Your hard work ensures we meet deadlines safely and professionally, making you a key part of ARPS' mission.
