School Space exists to create thriving schools at the centre of thriving communities. We do this by partnering with schools to rent out their facilities to the community in the evenings and weekends. 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 core values are Transparency, Positivity, Initiative, Community, Passion, Learning and Ownership and we are seeking people who are aligned to these values and who can demonstrate them in the work that they do.

Our operation covers over 70+ schools (and growing) and we are always seeking like minded people to join our incredible team of 200+ 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 your assigned local 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
• Providing great customer service and communicating what’s happening at schools to the operations team
• Carrying out checks as necessary and some cleaning/tidying after bookings
• Setting up and clearing away 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)

• 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.
• Providing feedback on what's working and what's not - you'll be our eyes and ears on the ground at the school and your feedback will be listened to and acted upon.
• This is a role where you may be working on site alone, or with other Community Connectors to manage larger usage. You will be supported by your line manager, training programme and an On Call team at all times. However, confidence and great communication skills will help you to succeed in this role
• Pursuing commitment to a social/community cause - our team are all committed to making the world a better place 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.
