Location : Somerville College - Oxford
Contract Type: Permanent
Closing Date: 29 May 2026
Overview:
We are looking for a flexible, hard-working and practical individual to join our Maintenance Team. You will undertake a wide range of carpentry and maintenance tasks and have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of other trades supporting members of the team with a variety of day-to-day maintenance requests, urgent tasks and project work.
You will have had recent experience of carrying out carpentry/joinery duties and, ideally, have worked in a similar environment with older and listed buildings. You will also have a good understanding of health and safety and be able to follow processes and instructions to ensure that work is carried out in an organised and safe manner at all times. Most importantly, you will have a ‘can-do’ approach to your work and be willing and able to undertake a range of tasks for which you will receive training and guidance. We will need you to be flexible in your approach and, after appropriate training has been undertaken and once your probationary period has been passed, you will be expected to join the on-call rota to provide maintenance cover outside of normal working hours. You must therefore have a full UK driving licence. You’ll also be needed for occasional weekend working, particularly across the busy summer conference period.
