Robert May’s School has a vacancy for a hardworking, flexible and reliable Site Assistant, with a range of practical skills, to join our Estates team.
We are seeking to appoint someone who will engage positively with members of the school community, demonstrate initiative and commitment and work in partnership with our school team to:
1. Ensure the good upkeep and security of the school premises, buildings and grounds
2. Undertake a range of minor repairs, maintenance and decorating
3. Provide a first class service to hirers of our artificial turf pitch and other school facilities
4. Work in a flexible manner for the needs of students and the school
The successful candidate will be required to undertake regular training to help them to fulfil their role successfully and to comply with health and safety standards. It is anticipated that the Site Assistant would also be willing to undertake training to drive the school’s minibus.
The role may also include working at heights and some lifting. Previous experience is desirable (building trade or good DIY skills would be an advantage) but training will be provided.
Community lettings of our artificial turf pitch and other facilities are very popular outside of school hours. The successful applicant will be a key contact for our hirers and other community members.
The post is full time and 52 weeks and will follow a set shift pattern to include some evening and weekend working, however some flexibility in working hours may be required from time to time.
In return, we can offer:
5. Excellent support from an experienced, committed and welcoming subject specialist team
6. Fantastic students who are well behaved and want to learn
7. A wellbeing day per academic year and an active Staff Wellbeing Committee with numerous enrichment activities on offer
8. A full programme of trips and visits giving you the chance to share in making positive memories with students
9. Access to an Employee Assistance Programme and virtual GP service
10. Access to education-specific discount schemes
