Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) is located on a beautifully green and pleasant campus just a few minutes’ walk from Lincoln Cathedral, Castle, and the old Roman city. Our story began in the 1860s as an Anglican teacher training college for women, which makes us one of the oldest Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Since then, we've grown, adapted, and modernised to become the thriving university we are today. We're still experts in teaching and education, but we've now got a wider portfolio of exciting degree courses than ever before. We currently offer causes in a wide range of subjects, from Undergraduate Degree level to PhD, and much more in between. 

Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) have an opportunity for three Building Attendants to join our Facilities Management Team. This is an active and varied role as part of a larger team across the estate.

Tasks will be wide ranging and varied from room set-ups, building unlocks, keeping areas clean and presentable, through to initial light maintenance, and routine compliance checks. 

Flexibility will be required during the absence of the other Building Attendants and University events to ensure a seamless service. Working on average 37 hours per week over 7 days, 365 days a year, alternating between 07:00 to 15:30 and 11.30 to 19:00.

Previous experience of working in a facilities role is desirable but not essential; if you have the relevant skills to be successful, we will train you on the rest. You will be encouraged to be creative, flexible and resourceful in your approach to the tasks at hand, while delivering a great customer service to the wide range of people you will meet each day.

A full clean driving licence is required as you will be required to drive University vehicles around and between sites.
