Quality jobs in United Kingdom

Help us make the place we live, look even better.

We want to build great communities, not just great homes. You’ll help us make it happen.

At Teign Housing, we’re driven by a simple but powerful mission: to provide good quality homes for our residents and rewarding, flexible careers for our people. As a thriving social landlord with over 200 dedicated professionals across Teign Housing and Templer Home Build, we proudly own and manage more than 4,000 homes across Teignbridge, the South Hams, East Devon, Mid Devon, West Devon, and Exeter.

We don’t just offer housing—we create communities. Our commitment goes beyond bricks and mortar. We deliver high-quality homes and personalised support that empower individuals and families to thrive.

Why Work With Us?

• Be part of a purpose led organisation making a real impact
• Join a supportive, forward-thinking team
• Enjoy career flexibility, growth, and meaningful work

We believe everyone deserves a safe, affordable, and welcoming place to call home. If you share our passion for building vibrant communities and delivering services that truly matter, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re now looking for an Estates Maintenance Operative to join our dynamic team.

Bring your skills, your ideas, and your drive—and help us shape the future of housing in Devon.

As one of our Estates Maintenance Operatives, you will cut grass, maintain hedges and plant shrubs and flowers to create attractive landscapes, resolve enquiries from tenants and oversee Health & Safety compliance in everything you do, giving you plenty of variety and responsibility.

Experienced in all aspects of grounds maintenance, you will hold a clean current driving licence and be capable of using industrial machinery safely. Needless to say, you should share our passion for customer service and be self‑motivated, well‑organised and hardworking, and you will bring excellent interpersonal skills.

A formal Health & Safety qualification would be very useful, as would a trailer towing licence and some pesticide training, but this is by no means essential as we will provide a comprehensive induction.

As an Investor in People Platinum organisation, you will be joining a company that creates a supportive high-performance culture.

You can also expect to enjoy an excellent benefits package, including:

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Discretionary Leave between Christmas and the New Year period
• Generous employer contributions towards your pension (including death in service), any employee who increase their contribution to 5% or above will receive an employer contribution of one and a half times their contribution up to a maximum employer contribution of 15%
• Private Health Care membership (if applicable)
• Flexible Agile Working
• Salary Sacrifice Scheme (optional)
• Reimbursement of the cost of a professional membership fee
• Employer contributions towards gym membership
• Employer contribution every two years towards eye examination for those who use computers significantly as part of their work
• Up to 25% off selected O2 airtime contracts
• Microsoft Home Use Programme available to all staff
• Employee Assistance Programme provided by Health Assured
• Westcountry Savings and Loans Scheme
• Recognition for Long Service (if applicable)
• Cycle to work Scheme
• Electric Vehicle Scheme
