Custodian - Technical

The Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge, home to the University's largest performing venue - West Road Concert Hall - is seeking a new member to join its Custodian team. This team plays a vital role in facilities management and user support, ensuring the building operates smoothly and safely for teaching staff, students and external hirers.

Custodians help maintain a welcoming, clean, secure, and well-organised environment. They ensure the building is ready for use, offer guidance on facilities, represent the Faculty during out-of-hours events, and serve as a key communication link between building users and Faculty staff.

We are looking for someone with relevant experience who can work a flexible shift pattern, including evenings and weekends. Current Custodians oversee the Concert Hall bar and take responsibility for cleaning and maintenance. For this vacancy, familiarity with theatrical AV equipment and infrastructure would be beneficial, though not essential.

In addition to the basic salary, a shift allowance worth approximately 10% of salary is offered to reflect evening, weekend, and bank holiday work. If you possess strong communication and organisational skills together with exceptional tact and patience this position offers a rewarding and dynamic opportunity.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to Anthony Brice, Concert Hall Manager at asb210@cam.ac.uk.

If you have any queries regarding the application process, please contact The School's HR Team at MusicHR@admin.cam.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is midnight (BST) on Sunday 14 September 2025. We expect to hold interviews in the week of Monday 22 September 2025, subject to change.
