Reports of internal and external defects and/or health and safety issues will be prioritised effectively and any issues that cannot be resolved reported promptly to the Health, Safety and Facilities Manager or the Facilities Team Leader. Operational activities are carried out in accordance with the relevant safe working practice and risk assessments. Accidents, incidents and near misses involving employees, students and/or visitors are dealt with appropriately and reported in accordance with the Trust’s Health and Safety Policy.

As a valued member of our team we can offer you:

• A commitment to continued professional development

This role will be primarily based at Benton Park School, Harrogate Rd, Rawdon, Leeds LS19 6LX, but may involve occasional work at any of our Trust schools and require travel between sites across the Trust.
