Completing Health & Safety checks and reporting concerns to management
Keeping on top of day-to-day maintenance and “odd jobs,” ensuring tasks are prioritised, completed efficiently, and followed up where necessary
Ensuring tools and equipment are clean, well maintained, stored safely, and used in line with safety procedures
Taking responsibility for the security of project premises
Essential Requirements
Applicants must be able to demonstrate:
Experience in general maintenance and minor construction work (professional or DIY)
Knowledge of the safe use, storage, and maintenance of tools and equipment
The ability to identify maintenance issues and take appropriate action
Good communication skills and the ability to engage positively with children, young people, and staff
A responsible, proactive, and safety-conscious approach to work
