Grounds & Facilities Assistant

Job Description

What you'll bring to the team

Right now, we’re on the lookout for a practical and motivated Grounds & Facilities Assistant to help keep our 5-acre SEA LIFE Weymouth site looking its very best.

This is a fixed-term, seasonal role. You’ll work a fixed rota of Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday (20 hours per week), with opportunities to increase hours up to 40 per week during holiday cover periods. Weekend and bank holiday working is required.
