We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, responsible person to work within the premises team. The successful candidate will ensure that the premises and grounds are kept safe, warm, cleaned, properly maintained and will be responsible for the security of the site acting as a registered key holder. You will need exceptional interpersonal skills and be able to deal tactfully and positively with students, staff and members of the public. The ability to follow clear instructions is essential, as is the ability to coordinate contractors under the guidance of the Site Manager and School Business Leader. There will be the requirement for flexibility and occasional overtime including attending emergency call-outs and covering absences.
