Team Leader - Maintenance

Our Property Services team is at the heart of Vico Homes, ensuring homes are safe, well-maintained, and welcoming for our customers. We deliver essential repair and maintenance services that directly impact the quality of life for our communities. As a Team Leader, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we deliver these services, driving efficiency, and setting the standard for excellence.

What you’ll do

In this role, you’ll take the lead in delivering high-quality repair and maintenance services, managing both colleagues and external contractors to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness. You’ll be responsible for meeting agreed performance targets, budgets, and customer satisfaction standards while championing Vico Homes’ values. By driving innovation, maintaining robust systems, and promoting safe working practices, you’ll inspire your team to deliver excellent outcomes. Acting as a visible leader, you’ll communicate effectively, ensuring compliance, continuous improvement, and a strong reputation for service excellence.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a confident and decisive leader with significant experience in construction, repairs, or maintenance, who can inspire a team and deliver results. You’ll bring strong communication skills, integrity, and a customer-focused mindset, alongside a solid understanding of health and safety legislation and the challenges facing social housing. With a Level 3 qualification in a construction-related field (or a willingness to work towards one), you’ll be comfortable managing performance, budgets, and compliance while using technology to monitor and improve processes. A valid UK driving licence and flexibility to work outside normal office hours are essential, and you’ll demonstrate empathy with Vico Homes’ social values, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and the ambition to continually drive service excellence.
