- Cleaning & Grounds: Support site hygiene with routine cleaning and manage grounds upkeep (litter picking, winter gritting).
- Contractors & Operations: Supervise visiting contractors and assist with classroom setups or school events.
What We Are Looking For
- Practical Skills: Solid experience in basic repairs, building maintenance, or a hands‑on trade.
- Calm Demeanor: Level‑headed, organized, and composed in challenging situations.
- Active Mindset: Comfortable with a physical workload transitioning between indoor and outdoor tasks.
- Driving Licence: Full UK licence and access to a vehicle (with business insurance) to support local campuses as needed.
