ABOUT THE SCHOOL

The employer 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, the successful candidate 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.

WHAT THE ROLE INVOLVES

• Opening and securing school buildings, gates and facilities in line with school procedures.

• 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.

• Responding to facilities requests and helping to prioritise daily porter tasks.

• Supporting reception cover, contractor visits, traffic management and site security.

• Reporting maintenance, safety or security concerns, maintaining accurate records and assisting with school vehicles and wider Estates duties when required.

• Basic computer skills and a sound awareness of health, safety and security.

• A full, clean UK driving licence.

• A stable, permanent role with weekday working hours.

• Free meals and refreshments while on duty.

• Free onsite parking and a provided uniform.

• Fully supported training and professional development.
