We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated person to take responsibility for the

security, safety, cleanliness and general maintenance of the school site, including

supervision, training and monitoring of our small Site Team of 3 cleaners.



You will be ensuring the site is kept safe, clean and in good repair for our children, staff and visitors.

Part of your role will be ensuring that Health and Safety Regulations and Safe Working


Procedures are adhered to and Risk Assessments are reviewed, including regular Fire Alarm and safety checks around the site.



The building you will be looking after and maintaining provides excellent accommodation for learning and teaching over four year groups. It has individual classrooms, shared areas, small group rooms and facilities for activities such as art, music, physical education and a well-resourced library and computer suite. We have large outdoor spaces and play areas for the children to enjoy that must also be maintained with the support of SCC's Grounds Maintenance Team.



At Townhill Junior School our central ethos is to develop a love of learning amongst all


members of our community. By the time our children leave us, we want them to be


confident learners, with high aspirations and motivated to succeed. Children coming into a safe, clean and tidy environment in the mornings, not only shows we take care and pride in our school and the environment they learn and play in, but also has an impact on how they feel about school and their aspirations and motivation.



As the Site Manager, you will have a key role in order for us to full fill our ethos. Trade skills such as carpentry, general plumbing etc. would be beneficial in the role in order to support a rolling programme of internal redecoration and ensuring repairs and maintenance are kept up together. Good communication with a range of people is important as you will be interacting with children, staff, visitors and contractors.



The ability to drive or learn to drive our school minibus is also an essential part of the job.



You will need to be self-motivated and flexible, being able to problem solve and manage


your own time to the priorities of the school. Although there will be agreed core hours, you may be asked to move your hours around or bank hours for TOIL (Time Off in Lieu) during busy periods, school closures or to accommodate contractors on site.



If you are interested in making a difference at Townhill Junior School and being part of our dedicated team, please contact us for an application pack or more information in regards to this vacancy.



Contact details are: either in person at the school office, via telephone on 023 8047 3611 or via email sbudden@townhilljuniorschool.co.uk and we will be happy to help.

Interviews will be held on Monday 1st December 2025.
