About the Department

The University of Bath's Campus Services houses over 5,000 students throughout the academic year, and during the summer months external companies use our accommodation for conferences, summer camps, and away days.

The Campus Services department was created in August 2022 by combining all the facilities teams across the University into one department to support our University strategy, in which strong campus services are essential to underpin excellence in education, research, and the experience of students, staff, visitors, and commercial customers alike.

With over 400 staff, Campus Services consists of a diverse range of teams, including Student Living, Hospitality, Retail, Cleaning and Portering, Security, Postal Services, and Landscaping.

Since last August, we have continued to develop the services we provide in response to the changing needs of the University.

About you

You should:

• enjoy striving for high standards of customer service
• love working as a team
• be personable with a friendly approach

Previous cleaning experience or knowledge of working in a hotel or student accommodation is beneficial, but not essential.
