Your Trade Skills. Our Homes. Repairs Customers Can Rely On. A repair done right first time makes a real difference to someone's home. As a Multi-Trade Operative at Curo, you'll be the person who makes that happen. You'll join our Repairs team, travelling to customers' homes across Bath, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. No two days are the same. One job might be a leaking pipe, the next a sticking uPVC door, a rotten window frame or a kitchen installation. You don't need a social housing background.
