    Ensure safe storage of materials, paints, and tools in line with H&S and COSHH regulations.

  * 

    Support the movement and setup of furniture or equipment for school activities.

  * 

    Promote a clean, safe, and energy-efficient environment for staff and students.

Skills & Experience Required

  * 

    Minimum of 2 years’ experience in a general maintenance or site-technician role.

  * 

    Full UK driving licence (own vehicle required due to location).

  * 

    Confident carrying out basic repairs (carpentry, decorating, plumbing, or electrical).

  * 

    Understanding of Health & Safety, COSHH and safe working practices.

  * 

    Comfortable using IT systems for audits and maintenance reporting.

  * 

    Willingness to work occasional unsociable hours when required.

  * 

    Any of the following are an advantage:

      * 

        Trade qualification (e.g. plumbing, carpentry, electrical, painting/decorating)

      * 

        Health & Safety certifications (Working at Height, Manual Handling, COSHH)

      * 

        First Aid certificate

      * 

        D1 licence entitlement

Benefits

  * 

    Competitive salary with regular reviews

  * 

    Training and career-development opportunities

  * 

    Enhanced annual leave and pension

  * 

    Life assurance and company sick pay
