General Assistant

We are looking for a reliable, hardworking, and customer-focused General Assistant to join our Facilities team. This is a varied and hands-on role where you will play a key part in ensuring our University buildings and surrounding areas are clean, safe, welcoming, and maintained to a high standard.

As a General Assistant, no two days are the same. You will undertake a range of cleaning and facilities duties, support room set-ups and moves, assist with waste and recycling management, and help provide an excellent experience for students, staff, and visitors across campus.

If you are a motivated individual who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining high standards, and wants to be part of a team that helps keep our campus running efficiently, we'd love to hear from you.
