BCoT is looking to recruit an enthusiastic, dedicated and friendly person who is proactive and hardworking to join our team. You will be working as part of the Estates Site Team to ensure a safe, secure and accessible site which meets the needs of learners, staff and visitors, providing excellent customer service at all times.
Experience of working in a caretaking role would be advantageous, but not essential. Enthusiasm, flexibility, motivation and team work is essential to this role. The successful candidate will be assisting with College events, setups and supporting the college areas and facilities and keeping to keep the site in excellent condition.
Working in the Estates team, you will carry out varied tasks, from moving furniture and heavy items and basic maintenance. You will also be testing equipment and PAT testing and maintaining relevant records (training will be provided).
Every day can be very different with both reactive and planned works to be carried out as part of this dedicated team. You will be a key holder opening or closing the college.
Being a good communicator, reliable and driven to support your direct team and the college as a whole is key to being part of The BCoT Estates and Facilities team.
Certain aspects of the role will be physically demanding, keeping you on your feet and will involve lifting and carrying.
For an informal chat about this role, please contact Trevor Ridley at the college.
