About us: School Space aims to create thriving schools at the heart of thriving communities. We do this by partnering with schools to rent out their facilities to the community. Our spaces are hired by wonderful community groups, and the income generated is used by the schools to improve the educational experience and facilities for their students, in addition to building stronger connections with the surrounding community.

Our operation covers over 50+ schools (and growing) and we are always seeking like minded people to join our incredible team of 100+ part‑time Community Connectors, the amazing people who open and close our schools whilst ensuring our customers receive great service and have all the help they need during their bookings.

- Opening and closing an assigned school/s in the evenings and weekends - you’ll be a key holder for the school and will need to remain onsite throughout customer bookings.
- Carrying out checks as necessary and light cleaning/tidying after bookings.
- Setting up and clearing away of tables and chairs e.g. during exam periods moving exam desk set ups, so that our events can run in bare spaces or other similar requirements (training provided).

Experience:
- Offered exceptional customer service.
- A flexible, organised, and timely approach to all your work - this helps us to ensure that our bookings run like clockwork.

- Pursuing commitment to a social/community cause - our team are all committed to making the world a better place in one way or another - if you think similarly then you’ll have found a great team of like minded individuals!
As this role involves working in schools, employment is dependent on a clear enhanced DBS check that we will run.
