Assistant Site Manager - Part Time

About the role

We are looking for a reliable, practical and conscientious Assistant Site Manager to join our team at Summerswood Primary School.

This is an important role within our school community. We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems and wants to help ensure that our school is a safe, secure and welcoming place for our children, families and staff.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day oversight of our school site and will undertake a range of practical tasks to keep the school running smoothly. This will include carrying out site checks, undertaking minor repairs, responding to maintenance issues, unblocking toilets and ensuring the school is secure at the end of each day.

You will also be responsible for locking up the school site and setting the alarm, and will receive training to develop a good understanding of our security and fire alarm systems.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is practical and confident tackling everyday maintenance issues.

• Can use their initiative and work independently.

• Is reliable, punctual and trustworthy.

• Takes pride in maintaining a safe and well-presented environment.

• Is calm and sensible when dealing with unexpected problems.

• Is willing to learn new systems and procedures.

• Has good communication skills and works well as part of a team.

• Understands the importance of safeguarding and working in a primary school environment.

Previous experience in a school, caretaking, site management, maintenance or a similar practical role would be advantageous, although we are more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude and approach.

This would be an ideal role for someone looking for a small number of regular hours who enjoys practical work and wants to make a real contribution to the smooth running of a busy primary school.

Summerswood Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful applicant will be required to undertake appropriate safer recruitment and enhanced DBS checks.
