Maintenance Assistant (School Grounds & Buildings)

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the private school in Mogwase. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Mogwase; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
