We're
a busy,
direct
and plain-speaking business. We need someone who can get stuck in and who thinks: \"If it's my responsibility, I'll sort it.\" rather than:
\"That's not my job.\"
It's
not essential but we would love someone who has: Experience in
operations, coordination, engineering, construction, manufacturing, facilities,
logistics
or a similar environment
would be useful.
Experience with
H&S paperwork, RAMS or compliance documentation
is an advantage, as is exposure to NHS, healthcare estates,

we're
open-minded about your background.
We're
hiring for potential,
attitude
and capability as well as experience.
If
you're
organised, ambitious and ready to take ownership,
we'd
like to hear from you. This could be the start of something much bigger than an Operations Coordinator job.
