This is an exciting opportunity to join the Estates & Facilities team at Suffolk Rural College in Otley as a maintenance person/caretaker, working on a regular shift rota as part of the team covering the operational hours of the department.

You will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks including general building maintenance, building security and deliveries. Working in a small team you will need to be able to demonstrate excellent team working skills, have a ‘can do’ attitude, as well as being pro-active and able to work on your own initiative. The ability to prioritise tasks and work efficiently with attention to detail are also important skills. A basic knowledge of general maintenance is essential for the role; basic knowledge of carpentry or plumbing would be beneficial.

You will be required to operate machinery and tools to undertake maintenance tasks and use cleaning chemicals to undertake associated tasks.

Please note that as Suffolk New College is a multi-campus site, you may be required to visit or work at and travel between campuses and therefore a driving licence is essential.
