- Move furniture, equipment, and musical instruments as needed to support classes, events, exams, meetings, and site moves, ensuring rooms are set up according to agreed plans.
- Work collaboratively as part of the Estates team to deliver support services that ensure a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors.
- Engage positively with students to ensure they feel welcome and safe on campus, while promoting understanding of expected standards of behaviour and using restorative approaches when intervention is needed.
- Carry out security duties as required, including general guarding, patrolling, access control, and CCTV system monitoring (in accordance with policy and legislation)
- Liaise with and support on-site contractors and visitors to site ensuring compliance
About You
- Previous experience in a customer service role, with responsibilities that included opening and securing buildings, as well as general building security.
- You should have excellent communication skills, work well as part of a team, and remain focused on tasks to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
- A GCSE (or equivalent) in English and Maths is required
