The role
Within our Campus department we are currently looking for a new enthusiastic and motivated (Float) Estates Assistant to join our team. The role is critical to the functioning of our estates and in ensuring that all students, visitors, and occupiers receive a professional service.

You will also undertake general operational and manual handling tasks, such as setting up rooms for meetings and events, assisting with waste removal where required, and ensuring that building entrances, pathways and steps are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and presentation. This is a varied, hands-on role that plays a key part in supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the campus.
You will deal with a wide range of enquiries from university staff, students, and members of the public, giving the most efficient and accurate help and advice in a friendly, calm, and welcoming manner. As the 'face' of the University, you will provide a positive experience to everyone you encounter.
Working pattern: 35 hours per week, Mon - Fri, with a variable shift pattern including early starts (0600) and late finishes (midnight), covering multiple locations, so flexibility is essential.
