Site Supervisor

Balshaw’s Church of England High School has undergone significant physical redevelopment to modernise the environment and is looking for an individual with practical and strategic skills to provide outstanding support within our site supervision team and the wider resource management of the school to maintain the excellent standard of site care and maintenance.

The successful candidate will work alongside an existing site supervisor working at the same grade. The roles are structured such that there is an early shift and a later shift. The early shift is undertaken by our existing site supervisor (6.00am – 2.00pm) who also manages our in-house cleaning team. The later shift crosses over with the early shift and will typically be 10.00am – 6.00pm with a half hour unpaid lunch break. However flexibility is required as school will need site supervisor support for various school events, and also to accommodate staff holidays. The work is a mix of planned daily activities, responding to equipment breakdowns and other urgent matters, and supporting the school in preparing for events. The overriding priority is to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff and maintaining the site to an excellent standard is fundamental to achieving this.

The school has developed a Resources Hub which is a centre for staff and students to report ICT and Resources issues. Our Resource Hub co-ordinator will work with both site supervisors to ensure work is properly and effectively prioritised. The site team has use of a large workshop and storage area as well as an office with a computer for administrative tasks.

The site supervision team is line managed by the Business Manager and there are regular operational meetings to review work completed and plan future work. 

As a site supervisor, you will be the face of site maintenance delivering an outstanding service that ensures that the school environment is presented in an outstanding condition which supports the ability of teaching staff to deliver outstanding learning experiences to our students. You will see the skills we require to do this in the Person Specification overleaf. Above all, we are looking for a highly motivated team player with a can-do attitude to work alongside our existing site supervisor.  Strong team working skills are critical to this role.

The closing date is midnight on Thursday 29th November 2018
