As a key member of the Premises and Site Team, you will help ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the site, including opening and securing buildings, monitoring CCTV and alarm systems, responding to security matters, distributing deliveries, supporting maintenance tasks and assisting with the preparation of facilities for assemblies, meetings, events and examinations.
