Post: Buildings Supervisor

Contract Type: 37 Hours, 52 Weeks

Contract Term: Permanent

Salary: Grade 4, £22,369 - £24,496 (for a full time member of staff)

Start Date: 19 February 2024

We are seeking to appoint a highly organised, motivated and flexible Premises Supervisor to be responsible for site related issues including maintenance, repair and improvements in relation to the buildings at Mercia School (interior and exterior, furniture, fittings and the school grounds).

Mercia School’s award winning architectural building was opened in September 2018 and boasts a state of the art building management system, adopting a minimalist interior ensuring high standards of health and safety, cleaning, and maintenance are maintained.

The trust wants every child and member of staff to work in a school (or building or grounds) that is safe, secure, clean, healthy, fit for purpose, well-maintained, increasingly environmentally sustainable, and inspiring. This underpins our educational vision.

Whilst we acknowledge that each school building is different (scale, age, building quality, management, when adopted etc.), we will use pooled resources to maintain and improve our buildings and to ameliorate any difference.

Excellent organisational skills and the ability to work on your own initiative are essential - as is a sense of pride in the work environment. A keen eye for detail and a good range of DIY skills is essential for this role. A working knowledge of COSHH and other statutory Health and Safety Regulations is a distinct advantage. We operate a central facilities service so the team will be on hand to support your professional development as you get to know our school.

Mercia Learning Trust is committed to the growth and development of its staff. You will have access to opportunities for ongoing training and professional development, allowing you to enhance your skills and advance in your career. We promote a supportive and inclusive working environment. You can expect to work with colleagues who are dedicated to providing a positive and nurturing atmosphere for both staff and students.

Other employee benefits include:

• Effective annual and on-going support and appraisal career conversations

• Opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from across the trust on a range of projects

• Access to a secure Local Government Pension Scheme

• Cycle to Work

• Reduced rates with Westfield Health

• Eye Care Scheme

• Occupational Health Support

• Flu vaccination

Working hours will alternative between 6am-2pm and 9am- 5pm. Employees receive a holiday entitlement of 26 days for those with under 5 years’ service, increasing to 31 when reaching 5 years. We request annual leave is taken during school holidays with 5 days granted during term time.

Please note we do NOT accept CV’s or Sheffield City Council Application Forms.

Closing date for applications is Sunday 29 October 2023.
