Are you practical, proactive, and enjoy a role where no two days are the same? Do you take pride in maintaining high standards and enjoy solving problems as they arise? Whether you have experience working within a school environment or bring transferable skills from a facilities, maintenance, construction, or caretaking background, this could be the opportunity for you.

As part of the wider CLF Estates and Facilities Team, you will support the day-to-day operation of the academy site, helping to ensure that our buildings and grounds are safe, well-maintained, and fit for learning. Working closely with the Premises Manager and wider site team, you will contribute to creating an environment where students and staff can thrive. Our Premises team has a strong collaborative culture, working together to meet the needs of the academy and supporting one another to ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

Duties will include general repairs, waste collection, cleaning, porterage and basic maintenance of lighting, heating and equipment. You will also help maintain site security, including operating alarms and undertaking key-holder responsibilities.

Working under the direction of the Premises Manager, you will be a supportive team player with a positive, practical approach. Experience in a similar role is desirable, but transferable skills will also be considered. A collaborative attitude and commitment to supporting both colleagues and students are essential.

About you:

You will demonstrate:

  • A basic understanding of health & safety.
  • Experience of carrying out planned preventative maintenance.
  • A recognised qualification or training related to building maintenance and grounds work, or relevant practical experience in a similar role.
  • Evidence of formal training in areas such as chain saw operation and Manual Handling or willingness to undertake training.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement through professional development, self-evaluation, and awareness.
  • Commitment to and able to work in a way that promotes the safety and well-being of children and young people.

Applicants are advised to refer to the full requirements of the role in the attached job description and person specification, prior to submitting an application.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
