Job overview
Our Vision: JCoSS is an academic, aspirational learning community, known and respected for our pioneering spirit, our humanity and our excellent outcomes.
Our Ethos: If you think you know what working in a Jewish school might be like, be ready to think again. Our outward-looking and pluralist ethos combines an embrace of open-minded values with a deep love of the varied riches of Jewish tradition. The staff and leadership team includes different faiths, and none, at all levels, and the school has a culture of purposeful good humour and humanity. We are a faith school like no other.
Our Results: Our early cohorts have achieved outstanding GCSE results, with 40% of grades at A*/A and just under a quarter of students achieving 9A or better. We have averaged +0.5 for Progress 8 in the two years so far and consistently achieved ALPS Grade 2 at GCSE and A level and were a top 100 non-selective school nationally in 2015. Our first full cohort has secured several places for Oxbridge, Medicine and Vet Science.
Staff Benefits: We appoint on potential as well as experience, and we are committed to supporting staff development. Several non-teaching colleagues have trained with us as teachers on Schools Direct and other similar programmes and have benefited from financial support for MA courses. Our admissions policy includes priority places for the children of all colleagues including support staff.
Our Location & Community: The school is in beautiful new £48m buildings overlooking the Green Belt. It is easily accessible from Northern, Piccadilly and Overground rail links and buses run past the entrance. We attract students from eloquent and supportive communities across North London and Hertfordshire. We are planning an expansion in response to over-subscription.
This Role: To assist the Site Management team in the operational facilities procedures of the school in premises and health & safety matters. It is essential that the safest possible environment is achieved and maintained for pupils, staff and visitors and that the building is kept in an excellent state of repair. The role spans across a wide range of school support services as detailed in the job description. The overall characteristics for this post are flexibility, practical capability, organisation skills, attention to detail, and the ability to take a broad-view across the whole range of school use, needs and requirements. A willingness to attend training in relevant areas and to communicate this knowledge is essential. The post requires the successful candidate to work rotating shift patterns within the normal site opening times of 7:00-19:00 (plus additional hours when needed). This post will be on a local government NJC scale and you will be eligible for the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).
