Permanent opportunity for Handyperson/ porter in Ambleside- 43 days holiday per year!

Your new company

You will be working for a further education provider in Ambleside that is located in the most beautiful world heritage site!

Your new role

The primary role of Operational Estates is to complement and support the student experience through the provision of modern, safe and fit for purpose spaces. This role is based on-site due to the practical nature of the work.
