Facilities Assistant Jobs at Nuffield Health Part Time

Full Job Description

Nuffield Health has an opening for a Facilities Assistant at Warwickshire Hospital in Leamington Spa. The job pays £12.84 an hour and involves helping with the day-to-day maintenance of the hospital. The work includes painting, decorating, carrying out general repairs, and keeping different areas clean and tidy. You will also help prepare work areas, complete paperwork, and let your manager know if any equipment is damaged or something needs attention. Because you will be working around a busy hospital, you need to be comfortable working with different people and ensuring the areas you look after remain safe and presentable. The position is offered on a bank basis, so your working hours will depend on the hospital’s needs and when you are available.

For this role, Nuffield Health is looking for someone with a basic education and some experience in painting, decorating, repairs or general facilities work. You should also understand the importance of health and safety and have a related qualification or be working towards one. The job may involve helping staff identify where a fire alarm has been activated and supporting an evacuation when required. Along with the hourly pay, the benefits include free parking, a company pension scheme and discounted gym membership costing £35 a month. This could be a suitable opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work and takes pride in keeping a workplace in good condition. However, as this is a bank position, there are no guaranteed weekly hours, so the amount of work available may vary.
