Job description

Make a real difference - Be the heartbeat of our school and keep our school running well.

We're looking for a skilled, hands‑on Site Supervisor to join our school community — someone who takes ownership, works with pride and understands that a well‑run site is the foundation everything else is built on.

The Role

36.5 hours per week | 6:00am - 2:00pm

You'll be the first through the door each morning and the reason the day runs smoothly.

What you’ll be doing:

• Maintaining buildings and grounds to a consistently high standard — repairs, decorating and general upkeep
• Opening the site, managing alarms and keeping the premises secure
• Operating heating systems and building management systems
• Coordinating external contractors — catering, cleaning and grounds — to ensure quality and efficiency
• Supporting room set-ups, furniture and equipment moves as needed
• Managing waste and keeping the site clean, tidy and presentable
• Supporting out-of-hours use of the premises
• Ensuring full compliance with health and safety legislation and best practice

What we’re looking for:

• Practical, resourceful and able to turn your hand to most things
• Proactive — you spot issues and fix them before they become problems
• Solid working knowledge of health and safety requirements
• A confident, positive communicator with staff, contractors and visitors
• Reliable, self‑motivated and calm under pressure
• Someone who takes real pride in their environment

What we offer:

• The chance to be part of a supportive, ambitious Trust with real opportunities to grow
• Trust‑wide collaboration — you won't be working in isolation, you'll be backed by experienced leaders and a responsive central team
• A comprehensive wellbeing package, because we look after our people
• A vibrant, diverse community with strong family and partner links
