**Join Our Team as a Facility and Grounds Officer: Make an Impact Where It Matters Most!**

Are you a hands-on problem solver with a passion for maintaining spaces that support the health and well-being of the community?

As a Facility and Grounds Officer, you’ll be at the heart of ensuring the upkeep and safety of our health unit. Your expertise in general facility maintenance, grounds care, and equipment management will play a vital role in keeping everything running smoothly. From conducting regular checks and repairs on machinery to tending to the gardens, every day will offer variety and the satisfaction of knowing you’re directly supporting a space that makes a difference in people's lives. Key responsibilities include:

- **Facility Maintenance**: You’ll be hands-on with carpentry, plumbing, painting, and mechanical repairs, ensuring the interior and exterior of the health unit are in top condition.
- **Grounds and Horticulture**: Specialised pruning, transplanting, pest control, and more. You'll also help maintain our plants and their labels, all while fostering a healthy, vibrant environment.
- **Machinery & Equipment Operation**:



From setting up complex machinery to ensuring everything’s operating efficiently, you’ll be integral to the operational success of the unit.

**What We’re Looking For**:
To be successful in this role, you’ll need to demonstrate a robust background in maintenance and grounds care, ideally with trade qualifications or equivalent experience.
