Role: Estates Officer

Location: Wotton-under-Edge Town Council, The Civic Centre, 2 Gloucester Street, Wotton-under-Edge

Contract: Permanent, Part-Time. 25 hours per week with some weekends and evening for meetings and other events

Helping keep Wotton‑under‑Edge connected, organised and welcoming.

Wotton-under-Edge Town Council is strengthening its operational team as part of a wider period of organisational growth. As more residents, groups and visitors use our buildings, parks and community spaces, we are investing in the practical capability needed to keep the town’s estate running smoothly. We are looking for an Estates Officer who takes pride in hands-on work and enjoys helping maintain the places people rely on every day.

About the role

This is a practical, varied role supporting the day-to-day care of the Council’s buildings, green spaces and public areas. Working alongside the Deputy Estates Manager, you will carry out routine inspections, minor repairs, grounds maintenance and event setup across a wide range of assets, from play areas and allotments to the cemetery, car parks and community venues.

You will support statutory checks, respond to defects, assist contractors on site and help ensure facilities remain safe, functional and well looked after. No two days are the same, and your work will make a visible difference to how residents experience the town’s shared spaces.

As the Council grows, you will play an important part in strengthening the resilience of our facilities function and supporting improvements across the estate.
