• Keeping maintenance areas, tools and equipment safe and organized
• Liaising with contractors when specialist work is required
• Carrying out regular checks around our sites and reporting any issues
• Responding to maintenance requests from members of the veterinary teams
• Ensuring work is carried out safely and with minimal disruption to clinical activities
• Supporting general site improvements and projects as required

• Practical and hands-on, with a natural ability to fix things
• Experienced in general maintenance, property maintenance, handyman work or a similar role
• Confident tackling a variety of jobs and finding practical solutions
• Able to work independently and manage their own workload
• Reliable, organised and responsive
• Someone who takes pride in their work and pays attention to detail
• Comfortable working across different locations
• Friendly and approachable, with good communication skills
• Able to work respectfully around animals, clients and veterinary staff
