• Safely transport operatives, tools, and materials to and from job sites
• Assist with a range of maintenance and repair tasks, working both independently and as part of a team
• Use scheduling systems and digital devices to update job progress accurately
• Maintain tools and equipment, ensuring they are used safely and kept in good condition.

What you’ll bring

• Good knowledge of local areas and ability to use navigation tools
• Previous experience in a labouring or construction environment, with the ability to safely use basic tools
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with a reliable and proactive approach
• Strong awareness of health and safety practices, particularly around manual handling
• Full clean UK driving licence
• Proven experience driving a van or 3.5 tonne vehicle (such as a cage tipper) is essential.

Why join Raven?

At Raven, we’re more than just a housing association — we’re a community‑focused organisation committed to creating positive change. You’ll be joining a supportive, forward‑thinking team where your ideas and expertise will genuinely make a difference.

You will also share our values: earning trust by being open and accountable, listening with an open mind, working collaboratively, and caring about making things better.
