This is a varied role, covering general maintenance, minor repairs, planned maintenance and responding to day-to-day facilities requests. You will be responsible for keeping our buildings, facilities and external areas safe, presentable and well maintained.

- General maintenance and minor repairs - including doors, locks, tiles, carpet tiles and other building fixtures.
- Painting, decorating and touch-up work as required.
- Basic repairs and maintenance, including changing bulbs, replacing fuses and other straightforward fixes.

- Supporting with basic PAT testing and generator checks.
- Completing planned maintenance tasks and routine checks to help ensure our sites remain safe and operational.
- Identifying maintenance issues and escalate more complex or specialist works where required.

- Ensuring maintenance activities are completed safely and in line with relevant health and safety requirements.
- Keeping appropriate records of maintenance activities and report any recurring or significant issues.
- Supporting with other facilities and maintenance tasks as required.
