Make a difference behind the scenes
At Jewish Care, what happens behind the scenes matters. As a Property Services Porter, you'll help keep our busy Sugar & Ronson Campus running smoothly, safely and efficiently.
From setting up rooms for events and activities to moving supplies, managing deliveries and supporting teams across the campus, you'll be the person colleagues can rely on to get things done.
It's a varied, hands-on role where no two days are quite the same — and where your work directly supports our residents, members, visitors and colleagues.
This post is working 36.25 hours per week Monday to Friday with occasional Sundays when required, where time in lieu will be given.
About the Sugar & Ronson Campus
The Sugar & Ronson Campus in Redbridge is a busy, vibrant environment bringing together residential care, community services, hospitality and operational support teams.
As part of the Property Services team, you'll play an important role in keeping everything moving.

You'll provide practical, responsive support across the campus, including:
- Setting up and clearing rooms for meetings, events, activities and training.

- Keeping storage, delivery and operational areas organised and accessible.
- Reporting hazards, incidents, damaged goods and delivery issues promptly.
