We're looking for a hands‑on, dependable Site Assistant to help keep our vibrant school safe, secure and welcoming for more than 480 children every day. This is far more than a maintenance role.

• Opportunities to grow your career within The Marches Academy Trust

From carrying out repairs and site maintenance to supporting school events, security checks and helping with educational visits, you'll play a vital role behind the scenes that keeps our school running smoothly.

Whether you're fixing a fence, setting up for a school celebration or ensuring our site is safe and secure, your contribution will have a direct impact on children's daily experiences.

• Practical maintenance or DIY skills
• A positive, can‑do attitude
• Reliability and initiative
• A Team Player Who Enjoys Helping Others
• Full UK driving licence

• £13.26 to £13.47 per hour (salary negotiable depending on experience)
• 32 hours per week, term time plus 4 weeks
• Professional development and career progression opportunities
