Porter

Chancery Quarters is a 35-apartment residential building with three ground-floor commercial units at 122–126 Chancery Lane, in the heart of Holborn, London. The building operates a mix of short-let apartments (some let for as little as one or two nights) and longer residential tenancies, supported by an on-site concierge team and building management. We're looking for a reliable, hands-on Porter/Caretaker to join the on-site team as we invest in a significant refurbishment and maintenance programme across the building. What you'll do -     Be a visible, reliable presence in the building — communal areas, entrances, corridors and plant areas — keeping everything clean, safe and in good order day to day. -     Carry out minor repairs and general handyman tasks (light bulbs, door furniture, general fixes) and raise anything beyond that with the Building Manager or maintenance provider. -     Support arrivals and departures — helping guests and residents with luggage, deliveries and parcels, particularly around the high turnover of short-let units. -     Assist with the building's rolling snag-inspection and refurbishment programme, including access coordination and basic condition checks. -     Manage bins/refuse store, communal storage and general housekeeping of shared areas. -     Act as an on-site point of contact for contractors (cleaning, HVAC, maintenance) attending site, and help keep the building's reporting up to date. -     Carry out routine health & safety walk-rounds (fire doors, communal lighting, general hazards) and flag issues promptly. What we're looking for -     Practical, hands-on with basic maintenance/DIY ability — happy to turn your hand to a wide range of small jobs. -     Reliable, punctual and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision. -     A friendly, professional manner — this is a customer-facing role in a building with guests as well as residents. -     Physically able to carry out porter duties, including lifting and moving items. -     Flexible availability, including weekends and bank holidays, given the building operates every day. -     Previous experience as a porter, caretaker or in a facilities/hospitality role is an advantage but not essential — full training will be given.
