Full job description

Dover House is seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Independent Handyman & Maintenance Contractor to manage general maintenance, facility upkeep, and seasonal groundskeeping at our senior care home.

As an independent contractor, you will operate on an invoice-and-pay basis. The ideal candidate understands the importance of working in a residential care facility, showing high empathy, discretion, and respecting our residents' space and schedules.

Key Responsibilities:

Facility & Room Maintenance: Check the daily maintenance binder; repair closet/cupboard doors, towel racks, door knobs, and locks; change lightbulbs (including exit signs); hang pictures and assist with facility room changes/moving furniture.
Resident Safety & Mobility Equipment: Maintain bed railings in top condition, put up/adjust security cameras, install/maintain bedroom poles, and perform light repairs/adjustments to wheelchairs (collaborating with management for technical issues).
Outdoor & Grounds Upkeep: Keep all entrances, ramps, courtyards, and decks swept and clear of debris/leaves; clean gutters and dryer exhaust/vents (crawl space) monthly; manage weeding, basic pest control, and garbage removal.
Landscaping & Seasonal Care: Perform regular lawn care, edging, and weed-eating across facility lots; maintain lawn mowers; handle seasonal plant/soil storage and manage the installation, testing, and organized takedown of outdoor Christmas light displays and characters.
Vehicle Care: Clean, fuel, and check licensing/maintenance needs for the facility vehicles.

Critical Operations & Protocols:

Resident Discretion: Schedule room checks and repairs after 11:00 AM. Ensure any noisy equipment (like leaf blowers) is only used after 10:00 AM.
Accountability: Sign off on every completed job in the maintenance binder with a clear statement of the fix.
Communication: Coordinate closely with the management team before moving/discarding furniture, hanging items, or altering seasonal displays.

Requirements:

Proven experience in commercial, residential, or facility building maintenance.
Must operate as an independent business and be able to issue professional invoices.
Excellent communication skills, reliability, and sensitivity to working around seniors.

Work Location: In person
