About the Role
Working with a further education provider, you'll help keep the estate safe, clean and running smoothly day to day, supporting the wider estates and facilities team across a busy learning environment.
You'll turn your hand to a range of practical tasks, respond to requests as they come in and make sure the spaces staff and learners use are well presented and fit for purpose.

- Setting up rooms and spaces for lessons, meetings and events.
- Moving furniture, equipment and deliveries as required.
- Supporting porterage, grounds and general site duties.
- Reporting faults and hazards, and helping keep the site safe and tidy.
- Working to health and safety standards at all times.

- Practical, hands-on approach with good general maintenance skills
- Ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team
- Reliable, flexible attitude and a willingness to turn your hand to varied tasks
- Awareness of health and safety in a working environment
Desirable (but not essential):
- Previous estates, facilities or caretaking experience
- Experience of working in an education or other public-facing setting
If you're ready to put your practical skills to work in a role where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
