About this role

What skills and experience we're looking for

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.

Working across both of our school campuses under the direction of our Premises Leader, you will support the

day-to-day running of the school site. This is a highly varied, physical role where no two days are the same. Your

responsibilities will range from routine DIY repairs (painting, putting up shelves, fixing hooks) and receiving

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

gritting.

What we are looking for

● A practical "can-do" attitude and a team-player mindset.

● 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.

What the school offers its staff

We Offer You

● A welcoming, supportive, and dedicated team across two campuses.

● The opportunity to work with incredible, proud, and enthusiastic children.

● Comprehensive professional development, including paid BSL training.
