Your role will include monitoring and supervising any contractors whilst they are on site and keeping accurate records of site visits, resident`s details, petty cash, accidents and inventories. Therefore, a competency in Microsoft Office is essential.
Although previous experience would be an advantage this role requires a kind-hearted person willing to engage with the residents and training can be given where necessary.
