- Maintain, check and set up equipment, and ensure all areas are clean, tidy and presentable for community use.
- Provide excellent customer service by showing clients around, resolving queries or issues, and ensuring bookings run smoothly.
- Liaise with cleaning teams and contractors, carry out basic cleaning as needed, and ensure facilities meet expected standards after use.
- Follow all school policies and procedures, including health and safety, fire safety and First Aid provision during lettings.
What are we looking for?
- Experience working in a customer focused environment
- Effective communication skills both written and oral to both internal and external stakeholders
