Building and Grounds Maintenance Assistant
Location: McCann Campus, Prestbury Cheshire
About Us...
Ghosts. A swimming pool. Two cats. At McCann Manchester, it’s fair to say we’re a little different.
Here the people make the agency, they are what makes our work so unique. That’s why we’re on the look-out for the people who can contribute to making great work. We’re a creative agency spread across eight acres of countryside in Cheshire, and the rumours are true, we also have a pub, bistro and gym all on-site. McCann Manchester is a big family - the largest integrated agency in the UK in fact.
We work with some of the UK’s most interesting brands and we’re looking for a Building and Grounds Maintenance Assistant to come and join us. Armbands optional.

You’ll assist with general maintenance tasks and minor repairs on both a reactive and planned preventative basis, across our extensive grounds and office buildings.
Key responsibilities include assisting with basic building and grounds maintenance, including lawn care, pruning, planting, and garden waste removal. This role requires physical stamina, operating tools and machinery, adherence to health and safety, and effective communication.
Please note, to ensure adequate cover and support, the hours of work for this role are 7am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, with some potential out of hours work. There may be some requirements to work different shift patterns while occasionally covering for the wider team.
