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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
