Summary Description

We are looking to employ an Assistant Site Manager to assist the Site Manager to ensure the school premises are maintained to a high standard and meet all current health and safety requirements.

The Assistant Site Manager will be expected to:

• Have good practical skills as you may be required to carry out site activities such as DIY, general repairs, painting and decorating
• Have a ‘hands on, can do’ approach
• Undertake general repairs and maintenance around the premises, both inside and out
• Unlock school site on arrival and complete a daily safety check of school
• Manage the premises and grounds and demonstrate a sound knowledge of health and safety regulations required for the post e.g. water hygiene, fire safety, COSHH
• Ensure the site is clean, safe and welcoming to pupils, staff and visitors
• Liaise with the Head teacher, School Business Manager, external contractors and other staff members
• Be flexible, thrive on variety and be adaptable to change
• Be willing to contribute ideas and solutions to problems
• Good communication skills including use of email
• Relate well to children and staff and interact with them in a friendly and positive manner.

The Assistant Site Manager is expected to attend to emergencies outside of school hours, therefore a full driving licence and car is essential. Occasionally, cover will be required due to the absence of the Site Manager ensuring school is locked and site is secure at the end of the working day. These additional hours would be paid as overtime.

Previous experience as an Assistant Site Manager, or in the building trade, is desirable.

The post is 12.5 hours per week, term time only.

We also encourage our staff to be open minded to all learning opportunities for themselves and therefore place high value on CPD to keep up to date with skills and knowledge. 

Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.  The school is committed to safer recruitment practice and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.

If you wish to find out more or to request an application pack, please call school on 01332 662826 and speak to Nicola Molloy, our business manager or email her at businessmanager@borrowwood.derby.sch.uk 

CLOSING DATE: Friday 8th January 2021 by 12.00pm.  Successful applicants will be informed by email or phone.

The post will start as soon as safeguarding checks have been completed.
