What to Expect Day-to-Day

The Joiner role at Choice Housing offers an annual salary of £35,068, based on a permanent contract with 40 hour work weeks. Overtime is available for additional earnings.

The company expects you to handle responsive maintenance and a variety of joinery tasks across their properties. You will need solid experience after completing your NVQ Level 2 or 3 and a Joinery apprenticeship.

Day-to-day, you’ll carry out repairs, planned works, and multi-trade tasks, ensuring homes are safe and well maintained. Use of company van and mobile working is standard.

Participation in the on-call rota is required every 16 weeks. Demonstrating effective use of PDA or mobile devices for work updates is also an essential part of the job.

Applicants must have a valid UK driving licence, trade-specific CSR card, and show strong independent working skills.

Notable Pros

One clear advantage of this position is the suite of benefits, including a company van, fuel card, death in service benefit, and health cash plan.

The 20 annual leave days, increasing with long service, statutory holidays, and pension contributions make it particularly attractive for skilled tradespeople.

Potential Cons

Out-of-hours calls can be a drawback, especially for those seeking structure in their working week. You’ll be part of a rota for urgent maintenance.

The application requires NVQ qualification and past apprenticeship, so those without formal training won’t qualify even if highly experienced.

Our Verdict

This Joiner role is ideal if you meet the documented requirements and want excellent benefits, regular pay, and the security of a permanent position.

If you’re an experienced professional with the right qualifications, this job could be a rewarding long-term move offering both financial security and varied daily work.
