The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day oversight of our school site and will undertake a range of practical tasks to keep the school running smoothly. This will include carrying out site checks, undertaking minor repairs, responding to maintenance issues, unblocking toilets and ensuring the school is secure at the end of each day.

You will also be responsible for locking up the school site and setting the alarm, and will receive training to develop a good understanding of our security and fire alarm systems.
