Job description

About the Role: We are seeking a Plumbing Technician to provide sickness cover within the School of Building Services at Nantgarw Campus. The successful candidate will support the practical delivery of plumbing programmes by preparing and maintaining tools, equipment and workshop resources, ensuring safe and well‑organised learning environments, and working closely with teaching staff to help learners develop valuable practical and industry‑focused skills.

All staff employed at Coleg y Cymoedd have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of learners, and all those working at the College are expected to uphold this commitment. As part of our safer recruitment processes, all new starters must successfully complete the required pre‑employment checks prior to commencing employment. This includes an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. For roles that involve direct interaction with learners, registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) is also a mandatory requirement.

We are a values driven organisation committed to employing a diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive environment where colleagues are respected and supported to be themselves. We treat every individual with dignity, fairness, and respect. As a Disability Confident Leader, we actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and communities, particularly in relation to age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion and/or belief. We are committed to removing barriers and making our recruitment processes as inclusive and accessible as possible. We welcome applications in both Welsh and English. Applications submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than those submitted in English. If you are a Welsh speaker or learner, we would be delighted to receive your application.

Roles at Coleg y Cymoedd are campus‑based to support teaching, learner experience and service delivery. Postholders may request flexible working, including limited remote‑working, through the College's Flexible Working Process (a statutory day-one right). Requests are considered individually based on role needs and service coverage. Candidates or employees with accessibility or reasonable‑adjustment needs are encouraged to discuss these with the People & Culture team.

All applications must be submitted by 11:59pm on the advertised closing date. Applications received after this deadline may not be considered.
