Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
We welcome applications from candidates seeking a minimum of 20 hours per week.
The role of the Assistant Zone Manager is to support the Zone Manager in the delivery of safe and compliant buildings and associated public realm which are well maintained (both technically and aesthetically), fully operational, and meet the needs and expectations of staff, students, tenants, and visitors.
Under the direction of the Zone Manager, manage day-to-day reactive and planned maintenance work through a small team and ensure that all stakeholders are communicated with appropriately, and given information and notice of activities that affect them. Being a large campus that operates all day every day of the year, you’ll need to be available to work weekends when required (approx. 5 weekends a year). However, you’ll only ever be required to work 5 days in 7.
