Facilities and Security Officer

Emanuel School has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual looking to develop their skills and experience in facilities management.

As Facilities and Security Officer, you will undertake a wide range of facilities, security and emergency responsibilities. This will include car park management, security and gate duties, minor maintenance, deliveries, events setups and additional estates-related activities. 

We are looking for an organised, efficient and reliable individual, with excellent communication, team working and problem-solving skills. Ideally, candidates will have experience in a similar role as well as relevant knowledge and qualifications, but this is not essential, as there will be a great deal of on-the-job learning.

This is a 4-day, 40 hour a week contract. Routine hours on a weekend when acting as a security guard are Saturday and Sunday 7.00am -5.30pm. Working hours as a Facilities Operative on Monday and Friday will be 6.00am – 5.45pm. A 12-hour weekend shift may be required depending upon facilities bookings in the evening. Working hours will be flexible outside of term time, working from Monday to Friday.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims.

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.

Additional benefits include:

• A generous annual leave allowance (33 days plus UK bank holidays)
• Discounts in local shops, restaurants and businesses
• Season ticket loans and a ride to work scheme
