The successful applicant will work closely alongside the existing DSC Housekeeper and other facilities/departments/support services so excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a team is a must. They will also have autonomy in the ordering of stores, the reporting of faults and the initiation of works as required ensuring safe and smooth running of the DSC.

Full training and support will be provided.

Please note that this advertised vacancy does not meet the UKVI eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa and therefore HUTH would not be able to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.
