The services provided by Campus Services are wide ranging with many delivered on a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year basis.

This role requires excellent communication skills and is focused on maintaining and improving the levels of service that Campus Services provides to students and staff. Educated to at least highers level (or equivalent) with proven experience in working within a customer-focused environment, you should have excellent customer service and organisational skills, be able to work under pressure, have competent levels of IT technical skills, and be able to make quick and effective decisions.
