Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

The private school in Isando needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a private school in Isando. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests

• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
