Summary
The role of Caretaker is a part- time, permanent role in Mind the Gap’s busy team.
The job involves being a keyholder for the building, which means the Caretaker is responsible for locking up and setting the security alarm at the end of the day.
The Caretaker will also be responsible for cleaning our workspace in Lister Mills (also known as Manningham Mills). It is a Grade 2 Listed Building, so there are some special requirements that need to be followed. The workspace includes a main large office, some smaller offices and three “Studios” which are used for different arts and creative activities.
The spaces are over two floors. The building is used by between 30 to 70 people each day on Mondays to Fridays.
There are occasional odd jobs that involve fixing things and it’s helpful if the Caretaker can do some of those jobs, but not essential. The job also involves setting up spaces for people hiring Mind the Gap studios from time to time.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in keeping everything clean, neat and in its place.
All staff are expected to support the company’s Vision and Mission:
Mind the Gap’s vision is to work in an arts sector where there is equal opportunity for performers with learning disabilities: a world where performers are trained, respected and employed equally, and feature every day on our stages and screens. Mind the Gap works in partnership with learning-disabled artists to deliver a bold, cutting-edge and world-class artistic programme, that impacts locally, nationally and internationally. We make work that excites, surprises and challenges audiences.
