Cleaner​/Caretaker

Hey there, great to see you looking into EPIC!

EPIC Housing is the proud custodian of approximately 1,400 homes across North Staffordshire with properties in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the Staffordshire Moorlands. Our homes come in two flavours; ‘social’ and ‘affordable’ rents and our tenants are the real VIPs in our world.

Our focus is always on our tenants and their homes, but we’ve got an awesome culture too; where we grow, develop, and maybe even have a little bit of fun along the way. Despite our small crew, we like to keep things interesting and are always looking for opportunities and ways to improve and develop each other, and the way we do things.

'Smarter, simpler and slicker’ is our mantra!

And it’s not just about what you’ve got on paper. We want to know about the real you, and how when we work together we bring out the best in each other. So, here’s the scoop, we want someone who can match our values and our game plan to supercharge our services and be a top-notch community landlord for our tenants, their community and team EPIC!

We're all about keeping things flexible. We know that the intricacies of life don’t stop when you’re working so if you need to step away from your desk or run out to grab the kids from school, no problem at all! If you want to put in some extra hours to get a task done, go for it—we work on the basis of trust and accountability.

What really matters to us is that the needs of our tenants run through your veins, your success, the quality of your work, and making sure you take care of yourself.
