Maintenance Assistant (Full-Time) - Kimpton Clocktower Hotel
Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is a Manchester icon - a bold blend of grand Victorian architecture and playful, contemporary design. We’re a little bit classic, a little bit rebellious and always full of character! From buzzing social spaces to unforgettable dining and events, we create stays that feel vibrant, personal and anything but ordinary.
What do you need to be a Maintenance Assistant?
Well, your main duties and responsibilities will be supporting our Maintenance team to work behind the scenes and ensure that our Hotel is a safe environment for guests and team members, working on ad hoc-jobs and communicating with the wider Hotel teams to fix problems when they arise (and predicting them before they do!). As a historic listed building, our Hotel offers a variety of unique challenges that keep every day interesting and rewarding.
So, we are looking for someone who has...
- Availability to work 40 hours (a mix of shifts start times from 8:00am to 12:00pm and finish times between 4:30pm to 8:30pm)
- Experience working as a Maintenance assistant, Plumber, Electrician or Painter/Decorator within a Hotel environment
- Knowledge of Health and Safety and passionate about ensuring a safe working environment
- Willing to learn new things and work as part of our wider Hotel team!
- Drive to produce results – we work together within the Kimpton family to continue delivering extremely personal experiences and genuine human connection.
- A warm and authentic personality, with a can-do attitude and commitment to service.
- A willingness to work as part of a team that embraces our culture and delights our guests every day.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
