Painters need to be:
- interested in design and colour
- methodical
- able to work quickly and accurately
- physically fit for lifting, standing, bending, etc
- willing to work at heights, indoors and outside
- health and safety aware
- able to work alone or in a team
Practical skills:
- good communication skills
- attention to detail
- good manual (hand) skills
- organisational skills
- training and development
You will also be encouraged to become multiskilled. This post would be suitable for an experienced individual with a strong background in the painting and decorating trade. Good attitude, punctuality, organisational and listening skills are a key part of this role as well as the ability to work as a team player within a large team.
Full current driving license for driving Trust vehicles.

In additional to your annual salary, a payment of £3,500pa pro rata RRP will be paid.
Please note that this post may not meet the pay and skill level required for a Skilled worker visa
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa and also does not appear on the shortage occupation list for healthcare and education. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
