• Happy working independently
• Customer focused
• Flexible and willing to work evenings and weekends
• Able to undertake light manual work including moving tables and chairs
• Capable of carrying out basic maintenance tasks.

Experience in caretaking, facilities management or maintenance would be advantageous, although full training will be provided.

• Additional paid hours for holiday cover, sickness cover and Council events
• Local Government Pension Scheme
