- Liaising with contractors when specialist work is required
- Carrying out regular checks around our sites and reporting any issues
- Responding to maintenance requests from members of the veterinary teams
- Ensuring work is carried out safely and with minimal disruption to clinical activities
- Supporting general site improvements and projects as required
We Are Looking For Someone Who Is
- Practical and hands-on, with a natural ability to fix things
- Experienced in general maintenance, property maintenance, handyman work or a similar role
- Confident tackling a variety of jobs and finding practical solutions
- Able to work independently and manage their own workload
- Reliable, organised and responsive
- Someone who takes pride in their work and pays attention to detail
- Comfortable working across different locations
- Friendly and approachable, with good communication skills
- Able to work respectfully around animals, clients and veterinary staff

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds.
