Estates and Facilities Assistants

The Laurus Trust is a highly successful and growing multi-academy trust in the North West of England, with Cheadle Hulme High School (CHHS), the founder school, at its centre. Our vision is for everyone regardless of background or circumstance to be inspired, to thrive in all environments, to recognise what it takes to succeed, to set aspirational goals and to work hard to achieve them.

All our Laurus Schools are hugely oversubscribed and have a reputation, both locally and further afield, for outstanding teaching and learning through the relentless pursuit of excellence and the determination to ensure that every child succeeds. It’s important to us as an employer that our staff feel that we care about them at work. 97% agree that we do!

At the Laurus Trust, it is not just about what we do but also about how we do it. We are seeking individuals who are able to demonstrate our core behaviours which set out the expectations we have of our staff.

The nucleus of the Trust is our multi-functional and dedicated Central Services Team who provides continuous operational support to all of our schools across the Trust.
