Facilities Officer

We are looking to recruit a dedicated member of staff to join our Facilities Team.  The successful candidate should be able to work on their own initiative as well as being part of a team. Previous school caretaking and/or grounds keeping would be desirable with DIY skills essential.

The post-holder will be required to work between the hours of 08:00 and 22.00, as directed by the Facilities Manager with shifts of 10:00hrs to 18:00hurs or 14:00hrs to 22:00hrs.  The shifts will have a rotating pattern of early 10:00 -18:00 week one, 14:00 – 22:00 week two. During half term and the holidays, a similar number of hours per day, between 07:00hrs and 22:00hrs, as directed by the Facilities Manager. Extra hours may be worked by mutual agreement with the Facilities Manager, including weekends, at an enhanced rate. Holiday entitlement is 25 days per year plus bank holidays. 

If you want to work in a School where everyone is valued and supported to be the best they can be (both students and staff) then this is the school for you. Please click on the following link or copy to your browser to get a flavour of St Wilfrid’s https://youtu.be/I5REzWqgTe0. As you will see from the link, we have great facilities, great staff and above all, great students!

This is a school that wants to be the very best it can be. Do you want to be part of that? You do not need to be a Catholic to work here, indeed many of our staff are not, but a willingness to embrace the ethos of the school is expected.

St Wilfrid’s is a great school with an excellent reputation both locally as well as across West Sussex. The strength of community at St Wilfrid’s is a strong one based upon mutual respect. The staff work incredibly hard and are prepared to go the extra mile for the students in their charge. Our students are amazing and they contribute enormously to making the school such a welcoming and productive place. Our most recent Section 48 Diocesan Report (October 2017) and our Ofsted Report (January 2018) certainly reinforce this aspect of school life. All potential applicants are invited and encouraged to arrange a visit – we firmly believe you will not be disappointed.          

St Wilfrid’s Catholic School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any successful applicant will be required to undertake a DBS check at an Enhanced level.
