Coordinating with contractors for larger repairs when required
Managing cleaning schedules, deliveries, and general site upkeep
Responding to maintenance issues quickly and effectively
What We’re Looking For:
Practical skills and a “hands-on” approach (DIY, home improvement, or similar experience)
Strong problem-solving ability and initiative
Reliability and trustworthiness, especially with site security responsibilities
Good understanding of health & safety and risk awareness
Ability to prioritise tasks and manage a varied workload
Strong communication skills when interacting with staff, students, and contractors
Good attention to detail to spot and prevent issues early
Physical fitness and stamina for a demanding, active role
Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced environment
Basic IT awareness (desirable for modern school systems)

Umbrella: £16.80 – £17.00 per hour
PAYE: £12.30 – £13.50 per hour
