We are looking to appoint a suitably experienced and skilled person to join our dedicated Estates Team.
This role involves working on a Saturday and Sunday assisting external hires using the College’s sports and performing arts facilities, as well as carrying out general caretaking responsibilities, as needed.
The aim is to ensure that any hirer’s overall experience of facility use is positive, such that we may retain their custom and they may recommend us further.
We are also looking for a Caretaker to work, alongside other Estates Team colleagues, on a Monday.
Applications are welcome from interested parties wishing to work all three days, as well as applications for the weekend role, or the week role, only.
We are looking for somebody with a positive, proactive approach, who will work effectively as part of our Estates Team. We want the successful candidate to care about, and be proud of the wonderful, historic, educational facilities and operations of our College!
