We’re hiring a part‑time Maintenance Technician/Engineer to join our friendly team at our Blaydon-on-Tyne HQ. We need someone for 24–27 hours per week across Monday, Tuesday and Friday, but we’re very open to adjusting the pattern. If you’d prefer to work just one or two of those days, we’re happy to chat.
