Trinity Multi Academy Trust is proud to have transformed the life chances of thousands of pupils across its existing academies, and our core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility run through all aspects of academy life. Our secondary schools consistently achieve academic results which place them in the top 10% of highest performing schools in the country and receive national and international recognition for the quality of their provision.

As a Trust we were excited to have been chosen by the Department for Education as their approved sponsor to open a new secondary school to support the increasing population of Barnsley. In September 2021 Trinity Academy St Edward’s opened its doors to a founding cohort of Year 7 students from across the town.

We now have a fantastic opportunity for a Cleaning Manager to join our friendly team. In this role you will carry out efficient cleaning of the building and the site ensuring high standard in all areas. Outstanding learning can only take place in an outstanding building. You will be responsible for leading a team of cleaners and allocating their work and supporting them daily. There will be aspects of administrative work to ensure we have sufficient stocks and equipment. You will also support the Premises Manager in caring for the premises and our furniture, fittings and equipment to ensure the physical environment of the premises and grounds is outstanding for learning.

We offer a fantastic CPD package for all staff and have an active well-being charter in place and a dedicated staff well-being team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves working with children and feels they can make a difference to their lives. In September 2024, we moved into our new £25 million, 18-acre new build, bringing with it state-of-the-art facilities – there is no limit to what this role can offer now, and in the future. It will most certainly contribute to changing the lives of the children of Barnsley.

What we need from you?

• Basic numeracy and literacy skills.
• Cleaning or site maintenance experience.
• Experience in a cleaning role (paid or voluntary)
• Supervisory experience (paid or voluntary)

What can we offer you?
