ABOUT THE WORTHGATE SCHOOL
The Worthgate School offers an outstanding international pre-university educational experience to students aged 13+ from all over the world. Students study for GCSEs, A levels and University Foundation Programmes, preparing for admission to universities across the country and elsewhere. We pride ourselves on our approach to teaching and learning, with small class sizes and an informal atmosphere ensuring that students are treated as individuals and build great relationships with staff.

ABOUT OUR SUMMER SCHOOL
Across all our sites, we run a busy Summer School, welcoming up to 400 students on short summer courses. The students come from all over the world to learn English and explore our wonderful cities and towns.

In order to ensure they have a five-star experience, we need a team of motivated people to help with operations. This is a varied role with an evolving list of tasks. You could be making beds, cleaning rooms, or making sandwiches!

Offering an hourly rate of £12.21 per hour on a 40hr per week contract, the positions are for 6-10 weeks from mid-late June (various start dates available). Accommodation with board is available if required at a cost.

The roles would suit college/uni students, gap students, or anyone looking to earn extra income this summer. You do not need any experience as full training will be given. We also have some weekend-only positions available, which can be discussed at the initial screening. You will need to possess a can-do attitude as it is all hands on deck during the summer. An ability to work on your own initiative as well as being a good team player is a prerequisite. Experience gained within a residential environment would be useful, and a sense of humour goes a long way too!

OVERVIEW OF THE JOB
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will undertake various duties in the Domestic, Catering, and Maintenance departments as directed, ensuring cleaning, gardening, caretaking, catering, and maintenance duties are completed to a high standard.

• Cleaning all sinks, toilets, and mirrors

Please note, although the above covers an overview of the duties attached to this post, it is in no way an exhaustive list. We reserve the right to close the advert before the specified closing date and therefore encourage early applications.
