Things don’t stay broken for long when you’re around.
People trust you to get things sorted.
This is an opportunity to join a well-established group of independent schools supporting four prep school sites across South West and West London. Rather than being based in one location, you’ll work across sites, providing hands-on support where it’s needed most and helping maintain consistently high standards across the estate.
You’ll play a key role in keeping things running day to day. From general maintenance and repairs to supporting planned preventative maintenance and health and safety routines, your work will directly impact how the schools operate.
You’ll respond to helpdesk requests, support compliance checks, and carry out a range of practical tasks including minor painting, decorating and basic carpentry or plumbing work. You’ll also oversee contractors when required, working closely with the Prep Estates Director and wider team. It’s a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same and where your judgement and reliability really matter.
This isn’t just about fixing things when they break.
It’s about being the person others rely on. The one who spots issues early, takes ownership, and makes sure everything runs safely, smoothly and professionally for pupils, staff and visitors.
You’ll be part of a supportive Estates team within a well-run school group that values its environment and the people who maintain it. Working across multiple sites gives you variety, visibility and the chance to build experience across a broader estate than a typical single-site role.
In return, this is a stable, long-term role in a respected school group, with a package that reflects the importance of the position. This includes a £42,000 salary, 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, a 5% employer pension, access to a cycle-to-work scheme, free meals during term time, and additional support such as an employee assistance programme and development opportunities.
You’ll likely have experience in a school or similar environment and be confident handling general maintenance, basic repairs and day-to-day compliance. Ideally, you’ll be a qualified tradesperson or have strong hands-on experience, with a practical, reliable approach and the confidence to work both independently and as part of a wider team.
A full UK driving licence is required, and a vehicle will be provided for travel between sites.
If you take pride in doing things properly, enjoy variety, and want to be part of a team where your work genuinely matters, this is worth a conversation.
