St Mary’s University are seeking to appoint to a combined role within the Grounds Team undertaking both Waste and Recycling, and Grounds and Gardening duties.

If you have gained some experience in the grounds maintenance sector and previously undertaken waste disposal duties this could be the role you are looking for. This role includes a varied mix of tasks from helping out with sports pitch preparation through to routine mowing of grass and pruning of plants. If you are also willing to participate in waste and recycling duties keeping the University campus clean and tidy this could be the opportunity for you to broaden your experience. We have a vacancy for an individual who has some of the previous experience required to undertake these tasks and join a small and productive team with a broad mix of responsibilities. Perhaps you have worked as a street scene operative or been responsible for mowing verges, clearing litter, emptying bins and have helped with the clearance of leaf or snow and would like the opportunity to do other things too.

The right applicant will be physically fit to undertake the daily duties described in the job description and demonstrate an aptitude for work of this nature that lends itself to development within the role, a significant portion of which will include driving within the site and the immediate proximity.

The successful post holder will be required to work flexibly and fulfill a shift pattern that sees them working part days on some weekends, however there are also weekday rest days, consolidated working weeks, and a shift allowance to reflect the unusual working pattern. Please refer to the sample shift pattern in the Job Description for additional information.

Company

Established in 1850 and with a deep heritage in education, St Mary’s University, Twickenham has a strong reputation for teaching excellence and a student-centred approach.

St Mary’s University is a modern, friendly and welcoming university situated in the leafy borough of Richmond upon Thames and a short train journey away from the hustle and bustle of central London. St Mary’s is on an exciting journey of transformation and growth, to benefit students, staff and the wider St Mary’s community. As the University builds on its proud heritage, it is looking for exceptional people to help shape its progressive future.  Our current strategy, Vision 2025, is focused on people and place, with the aim of creating a positive learning environment centred on our campus.  

We are a strong and welcoming community of students and staff and are committed to the highest standards in teaching across our wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. In 2019, we were again awarded Outstanding status by Ofsted and in the 2018 National Student Survey, St Mary’s ranked first in London for Teaching Excellence and Student Experience, contributing to our jump of 56 places in the NSS league table. 

We have also seen our second successive significant rise in the Sunday Times Good University Guide. Our rise of 39 places since 2017 positions us as 12th in London and 77th nationality. Other significant league table changes include a rise of 25 places in the 2019 Guardian University Guide league table, to 80th in the UK, and 17 places in the Complete University Guide as a notable climber.

In addition, we have a vibrant culture and environment.

Our core values; inclusiveness, generosity of spirit, respect and excellence underpin all we do as a University and we are actively working to embed these into our daily behaviours.  We want to create the best possible conditions for our students and staff to develop into independent problem solvers and ethical leaders, enthusiastic about knowledge and learning, and able to get things done.  

You will find further information on the web pages about our University. If you are excited by the opportunity to join St Mary’s and help us to realise our ambitious plans, then we look forward to hearing from you.
