With our new campus due to open in January 2015, which will bring together four of our existing sites, this is an exciting time to be joining the LCB team!
We require a self-motivated and pro-active individual with excellent interpersonal and communication skills to advise, promote and support the maintenance of a safe, healthy and environmentally conscious working environment in the College.
