37 hours per week. Full time all year round.
The Folkestone School for Girls is a large secondary school in Kent with over 1200 students and 140 staff. We are a busy, vibrant, and happy school – academically successful but driven to achieve much more. We believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both. We believe that qualifications are what students get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping the people they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do.
We seek to appoint an experienced Estates Assistant to join our dedicated team, who will be responsible for overseeing improvements and maintenance works and supporting the day-to-day running of the site by working closely with the Estates Manager and wider Site Department. The successful candidate will be experienced in a similar role and ideally have demonstrable knowledge of project management and Health & Safety and be comfortable liaising with internal stakeholders and instructing external contractors.
Successful applicants will have
1. Relevant facilities experience, including Health & Safety, preferably within a large scale facility
2. An innovative & flexible approach to work
3. The ability to develop and own a project from planning through to completion
4. Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and CRM Systems
Are you dedicated, driven, and organised?
Would you like to join an organisation dedicated to the future of young people? If so, we want to hear from you.
You will need great people skills, resilience and enthusiasm and a capacity for sustained hard work. Perhaps most importantly, you will be positive, optimistic and have a can-do attitude to anything that will benefit FSG Students.
You can find out all about our school and about our unique school vision and ethos via our school website.
