About the Role:

We’re looking for a capable and reliable Courier / Handyperson to join our Engineering and Building Services team at Manning Base Hospital.

This is a varied, hands-on role focused on general maintenance, repair, and gardening tasks across hospital facilities. You’ll also step in as a Courier when required, helping transport essential items safely and punctually across the district.

You’ll be joining a well-organised team with a reputation for getting things done, where no two days are the same. Whether it’s fixing a door, tidying the grounds, or delivering equipment, you’ll be helping keep the hospital running smoothly for staff and patients alike.


In this role, you'll:

  • Provide general maintenance and handyperson services across hospital facilities
  • Support the upkeep of grounds and gardens
  • Safely operate hospital vehicles to perform Courier duties when required
  • Assist in planned, reactive and statutory maintenance tasks
  • Follow work schedules while remaining flexible to meet the needs of the service


About You:

You’re a trade-savvy all-rounder who knows how to manage your time and get the job done with minimal supervision. You’re safety-conscious, dependable and happy to pitch in wherever needed - whether that’s fixing something on site or covering a Courier run.

You may be looking for stability after years in contracting or simply a change of pace with solid conditions and reliable hours.


You must have:

  • Demonstrated experience in general handyperson or trade-related work
  • Current unrestricted driver’s licence and ability to operate hospital vehicles
  • Physical and mental stamina to undertake both maintenance and Courier responsibilities
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Good time management and communication skills


Why Join Us at Manning?

Manning Base Hospital offers more than just a job - it’s a chance to work with purpose in a respected and supportive environment.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • A permanent full-time role with flexible job share or part-time options considered
  • Excellent working conditions including access to salary packaging and accrued days off
  • A down-to-earth, collaborative team culture with experienced and approachable leadership
  • Training provided on the job, with orientation from skilled colleagues
  • Job security, great lifestyle benefits, and the chance to work in a beautiful regional setting
