Grade 4 - £23,893 - £27,334 (plus shift allowance where applicable), 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, all year round, alternating early/late shift pattern (between the hours of 7:00am and 7:00pm).

Would you like to make a difference to the young people in our school by ensuring our premises are the best that they can be?

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Site Services Officer who has a ‘can do’ attitude and skills in the trades to join our site team at Foxford School.

Our site services team is key to the effective running of the school.  This role is varied and involves providing a quick response to general maintenance calls, manual handling and lifting, janitorial, monitoring and security duties, including a 24 hour response to call outs.

Ideally you will have experience of repairs and maintenance, and relevant trades (including carpentry, plumbing, heating, and painting) as well as building works in a similar environment.    Most importantly, you will have the will to go that extra mile to make a difference to the students at our school, the flexibility to be part of a great team, and the communication and problem solving skills to resolve situations as they arise, with the support of our Senior Site Services Officer.

We will play to your strengths and can offer you:

• A range of benefits which include cycle to work, free parking and an employee discount scheme. A strong commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition. Annual Support Staff Conference for all Support Staff across the Trust.

We are proud to be part of Castle Phoenix Trust. This facilitates an opportunity to play to your strengths and provide excellent collaboration between colleagues and leaders, access to effective CPD and the chance to develop professionally.  The Trust is committed to invest in and develop all staff and, most importantly, bring about the best possible outcomes for our students who deserve the very best.  Our Trust values are really important to all of us and include Respect to All, From All, Innovation and Collaboration.
