Maintenance Assistant

25-37 hours per week

We require a reliable person to support the Facilities Manager in maintaining the school premises including supervision of events and activities held after school. This will include some evening duties within the shift pattern as well as occasional weekend lettings for which an additional payment is made.

You will need to be personable, practical and well-motivated, and your duties will include:

• maintaining the general appearance and tidiness of the site
• security including locking and unlocking the site
• non-specialist decorating, DIY tasks, grounds work and repairs
• setting up for and clearing away after school events
• supervising community use of facilities.

You should be aware of Health and Safety regulations. Previous caretaking experience and handyperson skills are highly desirable as is the ability to work well without direct supervision. The job holder will be meeting parents and community visitors and therefore a professional and courteous manner is essential. We place great importance to the condition and appearance of the site and buildings as well as the service we provide our local clubs, so we need to appoint the right person to help us achieve a high standard. Some tasks such as moving furniture require physical strength.
