You’ll be working with their approved color palette and using low-VOC water-based paints. You’ll manage your workload using a handy mobile CAFM system. Plus, you’ll meet up with your fellow builders, carpenters, and painters bi-monthly for team catch-ups. It’s a great chance to use your skills to improve the environment for patients and staff.

- Carrying out reactive painting and decorating tasks.
- Completing planned project work (e.g., painting doors, walls, ceilings).
- Preparing surfaces, color matching, and hanging wallpaper.
- Managing your workload using the CAFM system.
- Working independently and as part of a team.
