The Post

Fancy a new challenge? Bored of the daily grind or feeling under-valued? Then look no further; Ashfold School may be the place for you. If you have a trade/maintenance background, a pro-active can-do attitude and take pride in your work, we are looking for someone just like you to take on our Facilities and Estates Supervisor role. Using your accomplished practical talents and organisational skills, you will have day to day responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the school’s buildings, grounds, plant and machinery. GUARANTEED - no two days will be the same! From Grade 1 listed to modern innovative architecture; whether you are creating and prioritising work schedules, meeting contractors, fixing and painting or assisting in the daily operations of the school, you will be an integral part of an evolving team valued for your practical abilities, supervisory skills, flexibility and commitment in assisting Ashfold to be the best it can be.

Still interested and intrigued by this new challenge? All we ask, in addition to you being a dedicated and approachable person, is that you have sound numeracy, literacy and IT skills, experience in general facilities maintenance, an eye for detail and a keen sense of humour. Why not come and join the friendly Ashfold family that cares for each and every pupil and member of staff…what have you got to lose?
