Estates and Facilities Officer (Sickness cover)

As an Estates & Facilities Officer, you will be appointed on a temporary basis to provide sickness cover, supporting the continued delivery of safe, secure and well-maintained learning environments across the College. The role includes key-holding responsibilities and responding to intruder and fire alarm call-outs as part of an out-of-hours rota.

The post will be based across the Ystrad Mynach and Rhondda campuses; however, operational needs will require travel across the College. You will liaise with contractors to support both planned and reactive works, helping to ensure statutory and legislative requirements are met. Where issues cannot be resolved directly, these will be escalated to your line manager to ensure risks are managed and standards maintained.
