Custodian - Bar

The Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge, home to the University's largest performing venue - West Road Concert Hall is seeking a new member to join its Custodian team.

Custodians help maintain a welcoming, clean, secure, and well-organised environment. They ensure the building is ready for use, offer guidance on facilities, represent the Faculty during out-of-hours events, and serve as a key communication link between building users and Faculty staff.
