This is a varied, hands-on role where you will ensure the premises provide a safe, secure and welcoming environment for children, staff, parents and visitors. Responsibilities include managing site security, acting as a keyholder, undertaking minor repairs and maintenance, monitoring heating, lighting and ventilation systems, carrying out health and safety checks, coordinating contractors, and ensuring the grounds and outdoor areas are maintained to a high standard.

You will also be confident responding calmly and effectively to emergencies, maintaining accurate records, and taking responsibility for the security and upkeep of the site.
