We are seeking a highly practical, motivated and reliable individual to join our busy Premises Team. Responsible for helping to maintain and develop our school premises, we are looking for a trustworthy and capable individual to add to the team’s expertise. While experience in premises management is a plus, we value character and a willingness to learn above all else. Full training will be provided for the right candidate who has a natural flair for practical tasks.

As a member of the Premises team, you will communicate effectively and be a strong team player, with the ability to learn on the job and work without supervision. Good knowledge of Health and Safety and Safeguarding children is desirable, but training will be given.

Are you looking for your next role within our Honywood School community? Do you want to help us to provide the best possible facilities for our learners and staff? Are you dedicated to developing yourself and creating a distinctive and inclusive culture? If this sounds like a role that you would like to make your own, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Join a team where your practical skills and work ethic directly contribute to the quality of our school environment!
Whilst we are ideally looking for an experienced Premises Officer, we are willing to provide training to the right person, should they already demonstrate relevant practical skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude. These might have been gained through property maintenance, creative projects or technical hobbies. We are looking for someone whose own values align with our inclusive culture; someone who understands our core values; someone who respects and embraces the individuality of every member of our school community and who truly believes in teamwork.
