Who are Cambria?

Established in 2010, Cambria undertake a wide range of housing maintenance works across Wales with offices in Cardiff, Ewloe and Newcastle Emlyn. Our work includes reactive repairs, empty property preparation, electrical testing and gas servicing.

While wholly owned by Wales & West Housing Association, we are an independent company used to fulfil the maintenance and servicing needs of the Wales & West Housing Group. This gives us great security of work and consistent growth for the Group as a whole.

The ideal candidate will have some understanding of property maintenance activities and be able to undertake clearance, removals, and cleaning work.

Pay is £12.60 per hour for a 40-hour week (average earnings £26,208/year).
