Site Caretaker / Class 2 (Cat C) Driver

London Fire Solutions • Permanent • Gillingham, Medway, England, United Kingdom • £32k - £35k / year • 15h ago

London Fire Solutions is looking for a practical and reliable person to help look after our premises in Gillingham, while also taking responsibility for driving and looking after our exhibition bus.

This is a varied role and would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on and taking responsibility for making sure things are looked after properly.

The majority of the role will be based at our Gillingham premises, with driving required for exhibitions, client visits and events, as well as occasionally helping with van movements and deliveries.

Main responsibilities

Site & Caretaking

General day-to-day caretaking of the premises
Emptying bins and keeping communal and external areas clean and tidy
Carrying out basic repairs and maintenance
Identifying maintenance issues and either dealing with them or reporting them
Meeting and assisting contractors when required
Helping with deliveries and general site requirements
Making sure the building is secure at the end of the working day
Locking up the premises and carrying out final checks
Generally keeping an eye on the site and dealing with things that need attention

Exhibition Bus

Driving the LFS exhibition bus to exhibitions, client visits, training days and events
Taking responsibility for the general condition and upkeep of the bus
Carrying out regular vehicle checks
Arranging or coordinating servicing, MOTs, repairs and maintenance
Keeping the bus clean and presentable
Making sure it is ready for events
Helping with setting up and packing away at exhibitions and events

Vehicles & Deliveries

Assisting with LFS van movements when required
Helping with van deliveries and collections
Taking vehicles for servicing, MOTs or repairs where needed
Providing general support to the fleet team

What we're looking for

A full Category C (Class 2) driving licence is essential.

We're not looking for someone who wants to spend five days a week driving an HGV. This is predominantly a site-based role with driving as an important additional responsibility.

It could particularly suit an experienced Class 2 driver who wants to move away from full-time driving into something more varied.

We're looking for someone who is:

Practical and happy to get stuck in
Reliable and trustworthy
Comfortable working without constant supervision
Able to carry out basic maintenance jobs
Organised and able to take responsibility for the site
Comfortable dealing with staff, visitors and contractors
Flexible when the exhibition bus is attending events
Happy to help wherever needed

Previous experience in caretaking, facilities, maintenance, construction or driving would be useful, but finding the right person with the right attitude is more important.

There will occasionally be early starts, later finishes and overnight stays when the exhibition bus is attending events. These will be planned in advance wherever possible.

This is a permanent position offering a varied role for someone who wants the stability of working mainly from one location while still making use of their Class 2 licence.
