Decorator

One year fixed term

We are looking for an experienced decorator to be responsible for preparing a range of surfaces and applying a range of finishes in response to the particular specifications of a job, paying close attention to detail to create a quality end product. On our large multi building estate the role will involve working on a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, and plaster and incorporating numerous materials, such as paint, varnish and wallpaper.

Work will be both internal and external and will involve some high level work so experience with scaffold towers and access equipment would certainly be an advantage.

To fit to the working and timing of the school year we are looking for a flexible approach to the working week so jobs can fit best to the staff and pupils on site.
