ABOUT LVS ASCOT

LVS Ascot is a successful, inclusive independent day and boarding school for pupils aged 4 to 19. The school provides a busy, welcoming environment where pupils can thrive, supported by a committed team who take pride in keeping the campus safe, organised and running smoothly.

THE ROLE

As Site Porter, you will be a key member of the in house Estates team, helping to coordinate daily porter tasks and supporting deliveries, room setups, site security, events and school vehicles.

This is an active, practical role for someone who notices what needs doing, responds calmly to changing priorities and takes pride in completing work properly.

• Receiving, recording and distributing post, parcels and deliveries.
• Moving furniture, equipment and supplies safely around the site.
• Preparing rooms and spaces for assemblies, meetings, parents’ evenings and major events.

• Basic computer skills and a sound awareness of health, safety and security.
• A full, clean UK driving licence.
