This is for 4 full-time, permanent night shift positions.

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.

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

The post holders will provide support for the out of hours running of the University buildings including health and safety and proactively control and maintain student conduct in or around student accommodation. Providing front-line customer service, but on occasions will require adopting an assertive approach whilst acting in a professional and courteous manner.  

Flexibility will be required during the absence of the other Building Attendants and University events to ensure a seamless service.

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.
