The post is a permanent appointment working 12 hour days or night shifts which are 7am to 7pm or 7pm to 7am on a 4-on-4 off shift pattern. Please state clearly in your application if you have a preference.
Due to the shift patterns and the need to ensure 24/7 cover at each campus and outer sites, it is not possible for this post to be a job share opportunity.
There is an expectation that the successful candidate will support UWE Open Days and Welcome Week etc.
The salary scale above is based on a 37 hour working week, however the post is an average of 42 hours per week (excluding a 1 hour lunch break), therefore this post attracts time off in lieu (TOIL) where applicable.
If you're ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role that makes a difference, apply now to join our team as an Operations Manager.
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.
