Are you a qualified Electrician looking for a role where you can take ownership, work independently, and genuinely make a difference?
Do you want to become the first in-house Electrical specialist for a growing Trust, helping create safe, high-quality environments for children and young people with Special Educational Needs?
This is a rare opportunity to join a newly formed Multi-Academy Trust that is bringing its Estates function in-house for the first time. Rather than outsourcing work to contractors, the Trust is investing in building its own specialist team, giving you the opportunity to become the go-to Electrical expert across the organisation.
The Trust currently consists of three specialist SEN schools across five sites in Maidenhead, Tilehurst and Woodley. Supporting children and young people aged 2-19, their mission is simple: create safe, supportive environments where every student can thrive. With plans to expand further in the coming years, this is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage of growth and help shape the future of the Estates function.
In this role, you'll take ownership of all electrical maintenance, repairs, testing, fault-finding and installation work across the Trust's sites. This isn't a role where you'll be micromanaged or handed a daily job sheet. You'll be trusted as the Electrical specialist, identifying issues, prioritising work and delivering solutions that directly support students, staff and the wider organisation.
This role would suit a qualified Electrician from a commercial, facilities, education, healthcare or maintenance background who is looking for long-term stability, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to be part of something being built from the ground up.
The organisation offers an excellent benefits package, including a works vehicle, Local Government Pension Scheme, generous holiday allowance and a supportive, values-driven culture centred around collaboration, inclusion and making a positive difference.
