Site Operative job summary
The site team is fundamental to the smooth running of our School. We undertake many aspects of facilities management ourselves but also deal with many external contractors. Bourne Grammar School is a multi-faceted site with several buildings ranging in age and size each with their own set of wide-ranging challenges. Ideally successful candidate would also have a wide range of skills, knowledge, and/or experience.
We are a small hardworking team that works equally well together as we do individually. Any new addition to our team should also be self-motivated, solution orientated, and equally happy to work by themselves, or as part of a team. The role involves a diverse range of tasks including, but not limited to, proactive and reactive maintenance, grounds maintenance, general housekeeping, health and safety compliance, and site security. There will be a need for the applicant to deal with contractors, teachers, students, and members of the public so good communication skills are desirable. The successful candidate will also need to hold a full clean driving license.
If you would like any further information or would like to arrange a site visit prior to applying, please contact our Site Manager via David.baynes@bourne-grammar.lincs.sch.uk or call us on 01887 422 288 and ask for the Site Team.

We are an oversubscribed mixed selective school serving Bourne, Stamford and Peterborough. Our students are well-behaved and motivated and are taught in modern and well-resourced facilities. The school offers 240 places to students in Year 7 and, with a growing Sixth Form of over 500, has expanded to become one of the largest grammar schools in the country. The vast majority of Year 11 students transfer into our Sixth Form where students are offered a choice of 26 A-Level subjects.
The best atmosphere, the best support, the best results
This is our purpose statement - we have no long or complicated mission statement. The order of the purpose statement is deliberate; we believe that if we get the atmosphere and support right then, given our able students and committed staff, good results will follow. The atmosphere is special and cherished by us all and something that interview candidates often remark upon. We are a large and busy school and our students are well-behaved, motivated and want to be here and their parents/carers want them to be here. Most of the students, most of the time, want to learn and enjoy lessons which are well-taught and engaging.
The teaching staff body numbers around 100 teachers supported by 40 non-teaching colleagues. All teaching staff are subject specialists and are only required to teach their own subject. Staff absence is very low, as is staff turnover. Staff who do leave often do so for promoted posts. All teaching staff at Bourne Grammar School are issued with a laptop and other benefits including no breaktime, lunchtime or bus supervision duties and free on-site parking. Tea and coffee are freely available in our two large staffrooms.
