Apply NowTennial Personnel are recruiting for a reliable and hard-working Property Renovation Assistant to join our client on an ongoing temporary basis, working Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 4:00pm (30-minute unpaid lunch). The role offers £12.71 per hour, with work expected to continue for several months depending on project progress.
This is a hands-on opportunity supporting the renovation of a large 200-year-old countryside property near Laxfield, Suffolk, working directly alongside the property owner on a day-to-day basis. This is not a large-scale development project, but a focused renovation of a single historic building requiring practical, physical support.
The property is located in a rural setting accessed via a private driveway approximately half a mile long, around a 30-minute walk from Laxfield village centre, therefore own transport is strongly recommended.
The role involves a mix of demolition, clearance, and general renovation support work, within a dusty and physically demanding environment. It would suit someone practical and comfortable working in hands-on labouring conditions.
This role offers variety, with scope for additional responsibilities for candidates who are practical, adaptable, and willing to take initiative.
Key Responsibilities:
Carry out general labouring and renovation support tasks across the property
Assist with demolition and stripping-out works
Support installation of stud walls, plasterboard, insulation, and services
Maintain a clean and safe working environment
Load and unload materials and waste into skips
Work closely with the property owner to complete daily tasks efficiently
Follow instructions and adapt to changing site requirements
Skills Required
Comfortable working in dusty, old property and renovation environments
Ability to use basic hand tools safely and effectively
Physically fit and capable of manual handling and labouring duties
Reliable, punctual, and trustworthy
Positive and proactive “can-do” attitude
Able to follow instructions and work independently when required
Good awareness of health and safety practices on site
Qualifications Required
Previous experience in labouring, construction, DIY, or renovation work is beneficial but not essential
Must be physically capable of manual work in a demanding environment
Own transport is strongly recommended due to rural location
Non-smoker preferred
Safety footwear required (boots or safety trainers with anti-perforation soles preferred)
