Do you take real pride in your surroundings? Are you someone who thrives on variety, responsibility and the satisfaction of a job well done? Do you enjoy fixing things, staying organised, and being part of a community-focused space? If so, an exciting opportunity has opened up for a Caretaker at a unique and vibrant location.

In this exciting and hands-on role as a Caretaker, you’ll be the driving force behind the upkeep and day-to-day running of The Farmstead – a diverse site made up of a café, offices, retail units, community hall and outdoor public areas including an adventure playground and landscaped courtyards. From opening and closing the site, supporting events, and carrying out visual inspections to organising repairs, liaising with contractors, and rolling up your sleeves for basic maintenance and cleaning tasks – this is a varied position where no two days are the same. Previous experience in a similar facilities, caretaking or maintenance role would be a strong advantage, as would a proactive approach and confidence managing H&S responsibilities on-site.

The Caretaker role comes with a strong package of benefits, including:
  • A dynamic, community-focused working environment with real purpose
  • Free onsite parking
  • Working hours Mon-Frid 8am- 4pm
  • A role with autonomy and visible impact across the site
You’ll be joining a friendly, forward-thinking team that values practical problem-solving, teamwork and a can-do attitude. As the Caretaker, you'll be supported to take ownership of the site and genuinely enjoy being the eyes and ears of the organisation on the ground.
