Join Our Team as a Flexible and Enthusiastic Premises Assistant!

We’re looking for a reliable and motivated Premises Assistant to work alongside our experienced Site manager and help keep our school running smoothly. If you enjoy hands-on work, have a good eye for maintenance, and like being part of a friendly, supportive team — this could be the perfect role for you!

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Assisting with maintenance, cleaning, health and safety, and security around the school
  • Helping with general site duties, including some manual handling (with equipment provided)
  • Tackling small decorating jobs and keeping our school looking its best
  • Acting as a key holder, which means occasional out-of-hours work (with pay)
  • Working closely with the premises team to ensure the site is safe, welcoming, and well-maintained

What We’re Looking For

  • A flexible and enthusiastic approach to work
  • Good interpersonal skills and a team player attitude
  • Previous experience in school facilities management is a bonus but not essential
  • Willingness to undertake manual handling tasks safely using the correct equipment

We believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and we’re committed to helping them shine through a caring, nurturing environment that puts their wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

South Pennine Academies, based in West Yorkshire, is a close-knit family of 11 primary and secondary schools across Calderdale, Kirklees, and Oldham — working together to help every child thrive!

What You’ll Get In Return

We believe happy staff = happy students. That’s why we offer:

  • Wellbeing Support - stress & cancer support, weight management, and more!
  • Generous Pension Scheme - for your future security.
  • Flexi Days - two paid days off during term time for those important life moments.
  • Free Annual Flu Jab - because we care about your health.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme - get fit and go green!
  • Free Will Writing Service - because peace of mind matters.
