Site Support Assistant

Fixed term until 31/08/2027. All year round, 15 hours per week. Working patterns will be agreed at interview. The role includes a requirement to attend training days.

This fixed-term opportunity has been created to provide additional capacity within our Site Team and support the delivery of a safe, well-maintained and welcoming environment for pupils, staff and visitors.

Are you practical, proactive and take pride in keeping environments safe, clean and well maintained?

We are looking for a Site Support Assistant to join our team on a fixed term basis and play a key role in the day-to-day running of our school.

If you enjoy problem-solving, working as part of a team and making a visible difference every day, we would love to hear from you.
