Part-time Maintenance Assistant

We are seeking a Maintenance Assistant to work part-time (20 hours per week),
on a two-year, fixed-term contract.

The Bodleian Library sits at the heart of the University of Oxford and its
iconic historic buildings house the University’s busiest reading rooms.

You will work within a small team looking after the 1st line maintenance of
the buildings, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment for
students, academics and researchers from across the world.

You will assist with daily reactive and preventative maintenance requirements
of the site, including liaising with contractors, ensuring the safe use of
equipment, reporting faults and being part of a priority response team.

With experience of practical maintenance, you will be physically fit and
comfortable working at heights and in confined spaces. It is also essential
that you have the ability to develop good working relationships with clients
and staff and are prepared to work flexibly as part of a team. Knowledge of
health and safety is desirable.

Due to the nature of this post, candidates will be required to undertake a
Disclosure Scotland check as well as a financial background check. The
possession of a criminal record or poor financial background will not
necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining this post, as all cases are
judged individually according to the nature of the role and information
provided.

Only applications received before midday on Monday 14 January 2013 can be
considered. Interviews are anticipated to be held on Wednesday 23 January
2013. You will be required to upload a supporting statement as part of your
online application.
