About the Role

Do you take genuine pride in your work and love seeing a job well done? Are you looking for a practical, varied

role where your efforts directly impact hundreds of children every single day? We are looking for a motivated and

proactive Premises Assistant to join our hard-working site team.

deliveries, to playground upkeep, opening/locking up the buildings, and handling emergency cleaning or seasonal

gritting.

● Handy DIY skills, including basic carpentry, plumbing, decoration, or gardening.

● The ability to work independently when given a task, managing your time safely and effectively.

● Excellent communication skills when interacting with staff, parents, visitors, and pupils.

● A willingness to work flexible split shifts and a deep commitment to keeping children safe.
