We are seeking to appoint a Building Operations Assistant to join our London cluster of schools.

The new structure consists of a Building Operations Supervisor supported by Building Operations Assistants who will provide site services to our academies in the cluster.

This role will be based at Newlands Academy (based in Peckham, London). Newlands Academy is a challenging but extremely rewarding newly purpose-built special academy for students aged 11-16 who have social, emotional and mental health needs.

The successful candidate will have previous experience in a similar role, be highly motivated, organised, full of initiative, and common sense, with a proven ability to work effectively under pressure, dealing with multiple tasks to meet time deadlines. You will have the ability to work as part of a team and relate well and build positive relationships with staff and key stakeholders. 

AET believes that all young people deserve to become world-class learners – to learn, enjoy, succeed and thrive in a first rate educational environment with the best facilities, the best teaching and the most up-to-date resources available to them.  In each of our academies, you will benefit from visionary, inspirational and dynamic leadership and be empowered to develop your own skills with access to world-class CPD and Talent Management programmes.  You will also be entitled to the following benefits: a health cash plan, Local Government pension scheme and childcare vouchers.
