• Maintaining accurate operational, maintenance and stock records
• Delivering a high standard of customer service at all times.

• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A positive approach to Health & Safety and environmental standards
• Good attention to detail
• A hands‑on approach to maintenance and housekeeping
• Confidence working independently as well as part of a team
• A strong customer‑service mindset
