The University for the Creative Arts is seeking an experienced Facilities Assistant to assist our busy Estates and Facilities department based at the Epsom campus (with occasional travel to our other campuses). The post is an important and responsible position, and your main duties will include opening and locking of the premises, security, fire prevention, goods in/out, basic maintenance, and support to the University and its departments. You will be expected to work as part of a team on a regular shift pattern (morning, day and afternoon) as well as being part of the emergency / out of hours on call duties on a rota basis with a paid ‘out of hours’ allowance.
