About this job

The Maintenance Assistant plays a key part in ensuring the smooth running of our operations by supporting the operations and technical teams. This hands-on role requires a practical, proactive individual with an eye for detail, strong organisational skills, and a respectful approach to working in a historic environment.

You will assist in maintaining venue infrastructure, supporting daily operations, setting up for events, and ensuring all spaces are safe, clean, and presentable for our staff, audiences, and performers.

Is this job for you?

We’re looking for someone hands-on, practical, and proactive — someone who takes pride in fixing what’s broken, keeping things running smoothly, and making sure every space is safe, welcoming, and looking its best. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment where no two days are the same, and you’ll bring a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
Whether working independently or as part of a team, you’ll be dependable, resourceful, and motivated by a job well done. Flexibility is key — we need someone who’s happy to work early mornings, evenings, overnights, and weekends as required.

And if you care about your local area and community, especially here in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, you’ll fit right in.
