Where specialist skills are needed for particular jobs, training will be made available and supported.
You will need to be able to drive and have a clean driving license as we have a fleet of minibuses, a car and van. The Trust has a number of vehicles to enable the maintenance team to travel between sites.
We wish to employ someone for 45 hours per week, usually between 7.00am and 5pm, all year round on a permanent basis. There will be some overtime to support the out of hours emergency calls outs, lettings, and school events. The actual salary for this position will commence at around £26,000. You will be entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday (to be taken during school holiday times) plus bank holidays.
You will benefit from a generous pension scheme, a health scheme, a cycle to work scheme and subsidised meals. Successful candidates will be provided with work clothing including PPE, state-of-the-art IT equipment and a mobile phone to help them fulfil their duties.
