Question 3

Are there part-time or flexible facilities jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, around a third of facilities jobs on our board are advertised as either part-time or flexible working. Part-time roles are particularly common in schools, where positions like Premises Assistant or Site Supervisor often involve set hours around the school day. Flexible roles include casual and relief positions such as Casual Facilities Assistant or Relief Caretaker, which suit people looking for ad hoc work. Full-time roles still make up the majority at around 66%, but if you're looking for something that fits around other commitments, there are plenty of options.
