Maintenance / Site Supervisor Level 4

If you’re a handyman or woman – bit of DIY here; repairing there; know how to keep a vehicle safe, legal and roadworthy; that sort of thing – and all the while contributing to a positive impact on the lives of young people, then you’ll feel right at home in this job.

You’ll do all the general, day-to-day repairs needed to keep our specialist school up and running, drive the school vehicles and keep them in good working order, as well as making sure the school grounds and garden are kept looking spick and span. Our children and young people have special education needs and your role will be key in creating a safe environment for them. You’ll be a familiar, friendly face and the youngsters will sometimes stop to chat to you. This is something you’ll be comfortable with, but we’ll also give you some training on child safeguarding to give you that extra confidence.
