Job description

At Jewish Care, what happens behind the scenes matters. As a Property Services Porter, you'll help keep our busy Sugar & Ronson Campus running smoothly, safely and efficiently.

From setting up rooms for events and activities to moving supplies, managing deliveries and supporting teams across the campus, you'll be the person colleagues can rely on to get things done.

It’s a varied, hands‑on role where no two days are quite the same — and where your work directly supports our residents, members, visitors and colleagues.

This post is working 36.25 hours per week Monday to Friday with occasional Sundays when required, where time in lieu will be given.

About the Sugar & Ronson Campus

The Sugar & Ronson Campus in Redbridge is a busy, vibrant environment bringing together residential care, community services, hospitality and operational support teams.

As part of the Property Services team, you’ll play an important role in keeping everything moving.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll provide practical, responsive support across the campus, including:

• Setting up and clearing rooms for meetings, events, activities and training.
• Moving furniture, equipment, supplies and resources safely around the campus.
• Receiving deliveries, checking goods and reporting any discrepancies.
• Distributing care consumables and non‑clinical supplies to departments and storage areas.
• Supporting weekly Meals on Wheels deliveries, including receiving, checking and transferring stock to freezer storage.
• Receiving food and beverage deliveries and moving supplies to kitchens and storage areas.
• Providing general porterage and logistical support to teams across the campus.
• Keeping storage, delivery and operational areas organised and accessible.
• Reporting hazards, incidents, damaged goods and delivery issues promptly.
• Following Jewish Care’s health and safety and manual handling procedures.

This is a porterage and operational support role — not a maintenance role. You won’t be expected to carry out electrical, plumbing, decorating, carpentry, grounds maintenance or other specialist repairs.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, practical and ready to get stuck in.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in a porterage, operational, facilities or support role is desirable.
• Good organisation and attention to detail.
• The ability to prioritise and manage a busy workload.
• A helpful, professional and customer‑focused approach.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• An understanding of safe manual handling and health and safety.
• The ability to safely carry out physical duties, including lifting and moving items.
• Basic IT skills.
• The confidence to work independently and use your initiative.
• Flexibility to respond to changing priorities and operational needs.

Most importantly, you’ll be dependable, courteous and solutions‑focused, taking pride in doing a job well and helping the wider team deliver an excellent service.

Why join Jewish Care?

You’ll be joining a team where the work you do genuinely matters.

Your contribution will help create a safe, welcoming and well‑organised environment for the people who live in, visit and use our services.

You’ll also be part of an organisation guided by our values of Excellence, Innovation, Compassion, Inclusiveness and Integrity.
