    The Property Care Technician is a vital role within our Business — far more than a Cleaner. This position is essential to maintaining the quality, safety, and presentation of every Property we manage. As the eyes and ears on the ground, a Property Care Technician plays a proactive role in identifying potential issues before they escalate, reporting concerns promptly, and helping protect both the Property and our clients’ investment. They are the first line of observation on site, ensuring standards are upheld and small matters are addressed before they become costly problems. Cleaning Cleaning duties include maintaining HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) Properties to a high standard, ensuring all Communal Areas remain clean, hygienic, and presentable. This also includes carrying out thorough End of Tenancy cleans, preparing Rooms for new occupants through detailed deep cleaning. A structured Cleaning Checklist is provided to ensure consistency, accountability, and high-quality results across every Property. Inspections Every attendance, a full Property Inspection must be carried out alongside any Cleaning. This ensures the ongoing upkeep, safety, and overall condition of the Property are consistently monitored. Any concerns, damages, or potential issues must be identified and reported promptly. An Inspection Form is required to be completed at each visit to maintain clear records, accountability, and high operational standards. Minor Maintenance Tasks Minor Maintenance Tasks include practical, on-site duties that support the smooth running and presentation of our Properties. This may involve key cutting and managing access requirements, organising or repositioning furniture, staging rooms to enhance presentation, and taking clear, professional photos for marketing purposes. These tasks play an important role in maintaining standards, supporting lettings, and ensuring each Property is ready for occupancy. Property Access & Viewings Property Access & Viewings involve attending scheduled appointments to provide access for prospective Tenants, Contractors, or Management Representatives. The Property Care Technician ensures the Property is presented to a high standard, remains secure at all times, and that any immediate observations are reported following the visit. Professional conduct and clear communication are essential when representing the Company on site.
