About the Role

As a Multi-Skilled Adaptations Technician, you will combine the responsibilities of delivery, installation, equipment modification, and minor adaptations.

• Undertaking joint visits with prescribers to assess risk and suitability
• Demonstrating equipment use and providing guidance to service users and prescribers
• Training prescribers on measuring stairways and assessing for ramp access and platforms
• Using power-operated machinery and industrial workshop equipment safely and competently
• Performing basic DIY and fabrication tasks
• Undertaking risk assessments prior to modifications or installations
• Ensuring the right product, in the right condition, is delivered and installed
• Providing exceptional customer service with empathy, dignity, and kindness
• Participating in an emergency out-of-hours rota in line with contract requirements
