🌟 FEEDBACK FRI-YAY 🌟

Another happy client! 😊

This client was finding it increasingly difficult to use their bath, so following a recommendation from Occupational Therapy, a new level-access shower was installed to help them remain safe and independent at home.

The project was supported every step of the way by our fantastic team:
🏠 Debbie, our Caseworker, who guided the client through the process.
📐 Nigel, our Technical Officer, who prepared the plans and liaised with contractors.
📞 Andrew, our Administrator, who coordinated everyone involved to keep the project moving smoothly.

👏 Well done to everyone involved in delivering another successful adaptation and making a real difference to a Powys resident's daily life.

If you, or someone you know, if struggling to love at home independently, please get in touch with us and we can offer advice, guidance and support. www.crpowys.co.uk

🌟👀EXCITING NEW JOB OPPORTUNITY👀🌟
📏Technical Officer
📍Hybrid – Newtown office / home-based (primarily South Powys)

💚At Care & Repair in Powys, we help older people and those with disabilities live safely, independently, and comfortably in their own homes.
We’re looking for a Technical Officer who combines technical expertise with compassion—someone who understands that behind every adaptation is a person whose life is being improved.
This is more than just a technical role. It’s about problem-solving, collaboration, and delivering meaningful change every single day.

🏠About the role
As a Technical Officer, you’ll manage a varied caseload of home adaptations—from minor works such as stairlifts, to larger, life-changing projects involving multiple areas within a home. You’ll work closely with clients, Occupational Therapists, contractors, and partners to ensure high-quality outcomes.
You’ll be involved from start to finish—visiting clients at home to design an adaptation from Occupational Health recommendations to suit their needs, creating detailed schedules of works, and overseeing projects through to completion.

😃What you’ll be doing
• Visiting clients in their homes to understand their needs and design a suitable adaptation based on Occupational Therapy recommendations.
• Taking accurate measurements, drawing detailed floorplans and creating a schedule of work adhering to strict grant funding requirements.
• Visiting clients and giving advice on home improvements to ensure their home is warm and safe.
• Managing contractors and overseeing works on site where required.
• Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, and to a high standard.
• Working closely with Occupational Therapists and Powys County Council throughout the grants process.
• Keeping accurate records and managing your own caseload and time effectively
• Building strong relationships with colleagues and partner organisations to ensure the best client outcomes.

👀Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is:
• Experienced in construction, surveying, or property-related work
• Experienced in taking measurements and drawing accurate floor plans using Cad software or equivalent.
• Experience of appropriate procurement route (e.g. tender or schedule of rates) being transparent and accountable for decision-making at all times
• Confident managing projects and contractors
• Organised and able to manage a varied workload
• A strong communicator who can work with a wide range of people
• Passionate about improving people’s homes and quality of life
• Experience of working with adaptations, grants, or vulnerable clients would be a real advantage—but not essential.

🌟What we offer
• 35 hours per week, full-time, permanent
• Annual salary of £34,850
• Annual leave and flexi-time policy.
• Training opportunities to develop skills.
• A rewarding role with real impact in local communities.
• A supportive and friendly team – we have team building days, wellbeing lunches and we care about our colleagues.
