We are seeking to appoint a Site Supervisor on a permanent contract to work 37 hours per week over 52 weeks. This post will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to work within our highly effective premises team. The post requires someone who is willing to be flexible in their outlook to work and respond to the needs of the school to provide an excellent level of support. The postholder would benefit from skills in basic plumbing, decorating and grounds work; however, this is not essential and training will be given to the right candidate. This post will be managed by our Premises Manager and form part of a team that includes the Premises Manager, two Site Supervisors and our team of cleaners.

The Premises Team form an important and integral part of our school community and in recent years have worked successfully on improving the look of building and grounds alongside the core function of ensuring the school is safe and fully operational.

The advertised role of Site Supervisor will form a key part of this friendly and supportive team and the successful candidate should be prepared and enthusiastic to react to the daily demands of a busy school environment. The tasks undertaken are varied and differ on each day – some are routine, and others are by request or as part of the school development plan.

The team has the responsibility for the school’s site and the maintenance of many aspects of our site, from welcoming contractors to managing the grounds, its cleanliness and appearance. All Site staff act as a key holder of the school, which means that they may be required to support a call-out for security checks as well as facilitating lettings. Any works outside of normal hours are paid accordingly.

The Site Team pride themselves on their integration with all staff and their support of students within Anthony Gell School. They work to help ensure the school runs seamlessly and support is offered to those who need it or ask for it. Any issues are dealt with swiftly, and any concerns are raised following the school policies and procedures.

All members of staff play a significant role in and are responsible for the safeguarding of young people. Training will be provided to ensure the successful applicant is fully competent within their role. Examples of training include use of equipment, manual handling, statutory training (health and safety, legionella, asbestos, fire etc); as well as optional extras such as Plasma scaffold training
