Porter/driver

We’re on the lookout for a Porter Driver to join our Facilities Department of Gateshead College working at our Baltic Campus. We’d like you to have a clean driving licence, as the role requires driving the College van to our other campus sites. It would also be good if you had a SIA Door Supervisors licence and basic IT skills.
