Northwood College for Girls

Northwood, North West London

£30,291 to £35,967

Don't settle for your next maintenance job. Find one that moves your career forward.

You're practical. You enjoy fixing things, learning new skills and seeing the results of a job well done. Now you're looking for somewhere that will invest in your future, develop your skills and help you build a career, not just another maintenance job.

At Northwood College for Girls, part of the prestigious Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), you'll join a friendly Estates Team that helps keep one of the UK's leading independent girls' schools running smoothly.

No two days are the same. You'll carry out a variety of maintenance tasks, support school events and help create a safe, welcoming environment for pupils, staff and visitors.

We're not just looking for someone to maintain our school. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with it.

Working alongside experienced caretakers, you'll receive excellent training through the GDST and be supported to develop your skills. Ideally, you'll have some maintenance or basic plumbing skills, but we're far more interested in someone who's practical, uses their initiative and is eager to learn. We'll give you the support and opportunities to build a long-term career with us.

Unlike many estates roles, we've invested in dedicated weekend and evening cover, meaning no regular weekend working, giving you a genuine work life balance.

Alongside a salary of £30,291 to £35,967, you'll enjoy 30 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays, an excellent pension, free lunches during term time, access to the school's gym and swimming pool, a Cycle to Work scheme, travel loans and additional lifestyle benefits.
