Sanctuary Supported Living is delighted to be recruiting for a Caretaker at Priory Avenue, Hastings.
At Sanctuary Supported Living, we specialise in delivering a wide range of personalised housing, care and support services to help people across England to live as independently as possible.
We’re a national organisation, but we’re not-for-profit and we think locally by putting our customers at the heart of what we do. We’re committed to being our best and helping customers to be their best, as we support them on their pathways for independence.

- Completing accurate daily work records and providing timely updates to customers

- An understanding of basic health and safety in the workplace
- Practical experience in operating hand tools and light machinery is desirable
