Maltings Academy and New Rickstones Academy in Witham, Essex are graded ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ by Ofsted respectively. Both have a state of the art new building offering fantastic facilities for both students and staff alike.

We are currently looking to appoint two General Site Assistants / Janitors to support the Facilities team in providing a safe, clean and secure environment for all academy users, responding to events and ensuring that internal & external areas are maintained to a high standard at all times. You will be a key holder and will also provide support to Facilities Assistants.

The successful candidates will have experience of general cleaning activities, basic DIY tasks and will have knowledge of Health and Safety. Key holder experience is advantageous but not essential.

The successful candidates will initially be based at New Rickstones Academy but will also be required to work at Maltings Academy. The hours are initially Monday-Friday, shifts between the hours of 6am and 10pm plus emergency call outs on a rota basis. There will be occasional weekend working for which an enhancement will be paid. Working hours will vary according to academy needs. There will be an induction training programme for this post.

For an informal discussion about the post, please contact the HR department on 01376 515 756 x253.

Candidates are advised to carefully consider the ‘Relevant Skills & Experience’ section of the application form, and explain clearly how they meet the requirements of the person specification.
