We are looking for a versatile post holder with recent caretaking experience to join our Estate Management team. You could be based at either site or required to work at any other University building across Chichester or Bognor Regis. This is a full time position and requires working as part of a shift pattern rota including weekends, early and late working.

You must be flexible, proactive, well organised and motivated with a customer focused, helpful and flexible approach to work. It is important you can work as part of a team working on a rota basis with some flexibility required to cover for operational requirements including staff sickness or increased peaks of activity.

You will provide an efficient and effective service, to ensure that the buildings and campus at both the Bishop Otter and Bognor Regis sites are an appropriate, safe and secure environment for students, staff and all visitors.

This role will involve working outside in all weathers across a large site, daily lifting and moving a range of equipment, checking buildings and working closely with our external security provider.

The University offers you a 37-hour working week; access to a range of training and development opportunities; discounted Gym membership; Local Government Pension Scheme; 25 days'' holiday (rising to 27 days'' in your fifth year of service), Bank Holidays and University closure periods (e.g. between Christmas and the New Year).

This position will require a Disclosure and Barring Check (DBS) which will be undertaken by the University on appointment.
