Audience fit
Why this may fit these career stages
Early Career — STRONG
Strong where an early-career applicant already holds the required roofing/slating qualification, valid UK driving licence and CSCS card and can evidence the stated roofing skills. This label describes the opportunity's potential audience, not an individual's suitability.
Career Change & Experienced — POSSIBLE
Possible for an experienced career changer with relevant construction or roofing experience who also meets the formal qualification, driving-licence and CSCS requirements. MAXME has not assessed any individual against these requirements.
Why MaxME selected this
Why it deserves attention
MAXME selected this locally relevant permanent skilled-trade vacancy because the source gives clear pay, working hours and entry requirements. Selection is about the opportunity's usefulness for career exploration; it is not an assessment that any particular person is suitable.
Plain-English explanation
What this opportunity is
This is a permanent, full-time Slater role with Aberdeen City Council, based at Kittybrewster in Aberdeen. The source states £17.37 per hour for 35 hours a week and a closing date of 30 November 2026. The work involves roofing repairs and upgrades across council public infrastructure.
Requirements
What the source says you need — and what may help
Essential means the source treats it as required. Desirable means it may strengthen your fit, but it is not usually a must-have.
Essential — usually required
The source requires an SVQ in slating/roofing at SCQF level 5 / SVQ level 2 or equivalent, a valid UK driving licence and a valid CSCS card. It also requires relevant roofing skills or experience and the ability to work from specifications and drawings.
Helpful, not essential
The source does not clearly separate any desirable criteria.
What to consider
Check the detail before you decide
The employer sets specific requirements, including the stated roofing/slating qualification, a valid UK driving licence, a valid CSCS card and relevant roofing skills or experience. Compare these requirements with your own evidence and read the employer's full job information. MAXME has not assessed whether you meet them.
FOCUS — Opportunities
One useful career-management cue
Which of the stated qualification, CSCS, driving and roofing requirements can you already evidence, and which would you need to confirm from the employer's full job information?
Preparation guidance
Prepare from your own evidence
Use the employer source and job profile as the authoritative reference. If you are exploring this role, identify the evidence you already have for the required qualification, driving licence, CSCS card, roofing experience and ability to work from specifications or drawings. Keep any application examples factual and based on your own experience.
