About the Role and our Ideal Candidate We are looking for a Semiskilled Repairs Trade to join SHP to carry out reactive repairs throughout our stock. We are a groundbreaking, innovative housing partnership working as a not for profit organisation in the London Borough of Sutton with ambitious objectives for making Sutton a great place to live.
