What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Experience in an estates, facilities or building maintenance role
- Good working knowledge of health and safety in a premises environment
- A practical, hands‑on approach and the confidence to manage your own workload
- Ability to work well as part of a team and on your own initiative
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience of working with contractors and external suppliers
- Previous experience in an education or similar setting
If you’re ready to take on an estates role where your work is noticed every day, we’d love to hear from you.
