Job Introduction

About the role

At Sodexo, we take care of all the little things that make a real difference to the experiences people have and we know that our confident and organised team help us to keep the facilities running like clockwork.

We have a vacancy for you to join our amazing family as a General Maintenance & Grounds Operative in Clitheroe!

This vital role will see you delivering 5-star support, responding to our customer`s requirements and carrying out your duties in a professional and courteous manner.

You`ll be maintaining the site grounds and assisting in transporting goods around our site. Ensuring that our pathways and car parks are well maintained as well as our grass, shrubs, and plants will be on your list of duties.

You`ll be responsible for ad-hoc duties such as changing lightbulbs, window cleaning, moving furniture and changing water filters. You’ll never need to worry about two days being the same!

Jet-washing, general repairs and cleaning store stock will also come under your list of tasks. You`ll be our go-to person in this very busy and tight-knit team.

A few things about you 

As this is a customer facing role, it’s important that you bring your helpful and friendly attitude. You’ll also work as part of a team, so your strong communication skills will be key.

We want you to bring willingness to learn as we provide a wide range of training and will support you every step of the way - this is a perfect role in which to grow!

If you hold a forklift licence that would be great but, don’t worry if you don’t, we’ll be able to help you work towards one if needed.

This is a fairly physical role so don`t forget to bring your flexible approach and can-do attitude!

As Sodexo embeds a strong Safety culture in everything we do, there will be procedures to follow such as Health & Safety, so it is vital to have good knowledge of this.
