DescriptionSupporting documentsEmployerLocation
Brooklands School is part of Weydon Academy Multi Trust (WMAT) and is a split site, primary phase (2-11 years) special school in Reigate. On one site we have 100 pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties including autism. On our second site we have 74 pupils with ASD / CSCN. Our most recent Ofsted inspection was in December 2023, when the school received an outcome 2 for its ungraded inspection. This means the school continues to be 'good' but might be outstanding if it was a graded inspection. The next inspection will be graded.
The Governing Body are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and skilled Estates Technician, committed to maintaining and improving the school environment for pupils, staff and visitors, to work alongside our Site Manager.
This position will be based at our Wray Park site but as part of the wider facilities team, the appointed candidate will need to be able to work at either site. The position is part-time/permanent, although there may be potential to increase to full-time in future. Hours are: Mon, Tues, Wed afternoons - 1pm to 6pm & Thurs, Fri - all day (split shift); 7.00am to 11.00am and 3pm to 6pm. (Ideally we are looking for one individual but would consider 2 part-time applications; one for mornings only and one for afternoons only).
Our Estates Technicians play an important role in supporting the education of our special needs pupils and the ideal candidate will be resourceful, with a flexible and 'can-do' attitude. You will be part of the school team and able to relate well to pupils, staff and contractors alike.
The appointed candidate will:
1. be responsible to the Leadership Team for a high level of maintenance of the buildings and site, including maintenance and operation of the swimming and hydro pools (certain technical and administration duties included)
2. ensure the most cost effective use of the buildings and therefore contribute towards WMAT's objectives of achieving greater value for money.
Full details can be found in the attached job description. You will play a major role in giving our pupils the very best opportunities to achieve their potential. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact the school to arrange a visit.
Applicants must hold a full driving licence and have access to their own vehicle.
Closing date: midday Friday 12th December 2025.
Interviews: TBC.
In addition to an interview, shortlisted candidates will undertake a practical task.
