• Reacting and manage emergency situations in relation to Maintenance of grounds and facilities i.e. boiler breakdowns, power outage etc.;
• Assisting with centre specific duties associated with a residential children's activity centre.
• Driving license and horticultural/agricultural experience and/or qualifications is desirable.
