The Lettings Assistant acts as the first point of contact for organisations hiring the facilities/buildings of the school outside of usual school hours and provides security, general site and housekeeping support as required. Good administrative skills are also desirable. A commitment to the role, combined with a willingness to be flexible in sharing and scheduling the workload, are essential components of this job. We would love to hear from you if you feel that you have the qualities that we require for this role.

This is a permanent position, working part-time (18.5 hours), working all year round, with an annual leave entitlement of 12.5 days (25 days pro rata), shift allowance and bank holidays.

We offer a positive and supportive workplace where staff go above and beyond to help students and each other. We provide excellent opportunities for career progression and advancement. Cheney School is committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and training the range of Continuing Professional Development is second to none.

Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.

Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone.

is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
