• Carrying out building checks and straightforward practical maintenance tasks.

• Logging maintenance jobs and keeping accurate records.
• Helping with facilities administration, including purchase orders and invoices.
• Helping keep the building and shared spaces safe, clean and welcoming.
What we’re looking for
You’ll have experience in a customer-facing, reception, facilities, caretaking or similar role, along with:
- Good customer service and communication skills
- A practical approach and confidence using basic hand tools safely.
- Good computer, literacy and numeracy skills.
- The ability to organise a varied workload and respond to changing priorities.
- An understanding of workplace health and safety.
- A willingness to get involved in both desk-based and hands-on tasks.
Working pattern
You’ll work an agreed rota, with typical shifts of 8am to 4pm, 9am to 5pm or 10am to 6pm. Occasional evening or weekend work and travel to other RNIB locations may also be required.
If you enjoy variety, working with people and taking a practical approach to getting things done, we’d love to hear from you.

We offer a wide range of benefits including 27 days of holiday per year (plus bank holidays) which rises with service, enhanced family friendly benefits, a contributory pension scheme with an employer contribution of up to 11% and a rewards platform with employee discounts across over 800 retailers.
