The Role

We’re excited to offer an opportunity for a Community Facilities Assistant to join our Facilities Team. Based primarily at The Campus, a vibrant hub for Herons’ Moor Academy, Baytree School, Locking Castle Children’s Centre, and various leisure and library facilities, you will play a key role in keeping our spaces functional, safe, and welcoming.

You’ll work a 3 week rolling rota schedule that includes early shifts (6 am–12:30 pm), late shifts (2 pm–10 pm), and one weekend in three. As part of your duties, you’ll also support other North Somerset Council sites, such as Somerset Hall in Portishead, where you will perform tasks like setting up for events, cleaning beer lines, and conducting compliance checks.

Key Responsibilities:

In this varied role, your daily tasks will include:

Facilities and Maintenance Support: Respond to staff and user queries, address building issues, and handle room setup requests. Perform small DIY repairs such as fixing cupboard doors, putting up notice boards, or reactive Health & Safety works.
Waste and Environmental Compliance: Ensure safe waste disposal in line with North Somerset Council (NSC) guidelines and ISO14001 standards.
Routine Checks and Maintenance: Conduct plant room inspections, fire alarm testing, fire extinguisher audits, and other safety checks to ensure facilities remain compliant and secure.
