The Trust has a unique opportunity for a Peripatetic Site Assistant to join the team and provide quality maintenance and caretaking support at the Josephine Butler Campus in Ashington. This role is perfect for a skilled professional that is looking for a rewarding career in an environment that provides variety and purpose. The ideal candidate will help ensure that the school's building, grounds and facilities are safe, secure, and well maintained at all times. Josephine Butler is our largest campus so this is quite a busy role, with additional duties in areas such as the hydro-pool, lettings, and the operation of BMS systems. The role will be focused on practical, hands-on maintenance and DIY repairs that ensure site presentation and safety. No two days are the same, and the role may require flexibility to travel between different sites, so a full UK driving licence is essential.

- Opening and closing the school buildings, conducting routine security/alarm checks, and responding to emergency call outs.
- Conduct essential safety checks such as emergency lighting tests, water monitoring, and fire alarm testing.
- Keep external areas clean, safe and clear of debris such as leaves and branches. This also includes gritting and snow clearance during bad weather.
- Support with daily school operations, such as setting up rooms and halls for events such as parents evening, exams, and assemblies.
Benefits
- An excellent pension scheme with a generous employer contribution from the Trust.
- 24/7 access to our Employee Assistance Programme, providing confidential wellbeing and support services.
- Comprehensive mental health and wellbeing support for all staff through Dittolo.
