FamilyAid is Greater Boston’s leading provider of solutions to family homelessness. Our mission is to empower parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children’s futures.

We prevent homelessness whenever possible; reduce harm if homelessness can’t be avoided by getting families stably housed as quickly as possible and mitigating trauma, especially for children; and provide wraparound supports for children and parents that foster long-term stability.

Our approach works: Families in our care make significant progress towards self-sufficiency within seven months, 64% of whom are rehoused within one year with a 99% retention rate, far outperforming national averages. Most importantly, our parents report that their children are healthier and happier.

We have quadrupled in size in the last five years and remain on an exciting growth trajectory to serve more than 5,000 children and parents this year. We have launched bold new strategies to reduce two-generation homelessness by deepening and increasing our prevention, housing, and supportive services for children and parents. Significant new funding powers our strategic vision of serving more families through a deepened 2 Generation approach that reduces homelessness' cause, scope, and impact.

To support these strategies, the agency seeks a dynamic and driven Maintenance Technician.

The Maintenance Technician will perform basic facility repairs and property maintenance, utilizing power and hand tools commonly used in the industry. They will monitor and report condition of all units including furniture, furnishings, appliances and building systems during site visits and will post inspection confirmation and reporting.

The success candidate will have at least two years professional experience in facilities maintenance and have specific experience in residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical maintenance. Additionally, the chosen candidate will have Spanish or Haitian Creole language capabilities and have reliable personal transportation to commute and travel between multiple FamilyAid locations.

Our supportive, collaborative, and diverse workplace of more than 120 professionals is ideal for a skilled, result-oriented, driven professional to help children and families thrive. To learn more about our work, please visit https://familyaidboston.org
