Estates Maintenance Technician job summary

This is a position where no two days are the same. You could be repainting a classroom, repairing damaged fencing, carrying out gardening work on our extensive grounds, or welcoming guests who have hired our outdoor facilities outside of school hours. By ensuring our facilities are kept in optimum condition, your role will make a positive difference towards the teaching and learning experience of staff and students at both Perins and Sun Hill Junior School.

Shifts operate on a rota system with early shifts (7am - 3.30pm), day shifts (8am - 4.30pm) and late shifts (2.30pm - 10.30pm) including a requirement to work one weekend per month. As such the position attracts an additional 14% shift allowance. (Included in advertised pay rate).

We would like to hear from individuals with skills in carpentry, plumbing, grounds maintenance or painting and decorating. We will also consider applications from people willing to undertake a wide range of in house and specialist training to enhance their practical skills.

As well as using your skills to complete projects, you will also carry out routine tasks as directed by the Deputy Estates Manager or the Facilities and Health and Safety Manager.

Individuals should also be able to work as an effective part of a team, and have good communication skills.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools

We currently do not use AI tools in our recruitment processes; however, we understand that you may choose to use AI tools to help you with your application.

If you do, please remember:

  • AI-generated answers can often be generic and impersonal, which may not accurately reflect your qualifications, skills, and experiences.
  • AI-generated applications may lack the personal touch that human-written applications have, this may make you seem less engaged or interested.
  • Ensure the information provided genuinely represents your own voice and experience.
  • You must not provide false or misleading information.
  • If you rely too heavily on AI you might not develop the necessary skills to communicate your experiences and qualifications effectively in interviews or other stages of the hiring process. This may make you come across to the interviewer as a different person to the one that wrote the application form, and you may not be successful in the interview.
