Estates and Facilities Officer (Sickness cover) in Wales

As an Estates & Facilities Officer, you will be appointed on a temporary basis to provide sickness cover, supporting the continued delivery of safe, secure and well‑maintained learning environments across the College. The role includes key‑holding responsibilities and responding to intruder and fire alarm call‑outs as part of an out‑of‑hours rota. The post will be based across the Ystrad Mynach and Rhondda campuses; however, operational needs will require travel across the College. You will liaise with contractors to support both planned and reactive works, helping to ensure statutory and legislative requirements are met. Where issues cannot be resolved directly, these will be escalated to your line manager to ensure risks are managed and standards maintained.

All staff employed at Coleg yCymoedd have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of learners, and all those working at the College are expected to uphold this commitment. As part of safer recruitment processes, all new starters must successfully complete the required pre‑employment checks prior to commencing employment. This includes an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. For roles that involve direct interaction with learners, registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) is also a mandatory requirement.

We are a values‑driven organisation committed to employing a diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive environment where colleagues are respected and supported to be themselves.

Roles at Coleg yCymoedd are campus based to support teaching, learner experience and service delivery. Postholders may request flexible working, including limited remote working, through the College’s Flexible Working Process (a statutory day one right). Requests are considered individually based on role needs and service coverage. Candidates or employees with accessibility or reasonable adjustment needs are encouraged to discuss these with the People & Culture team.
