Summary

Howick Church of England Primary School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, skilled and dedicated Site Supervisor to join our staff and fulfil this key role at our wonderful school.  The job will consist of keeping our school clean and tidy inside and out and ensuring that our building and grounds are safe for our children.  It will require vigilance and awareness of repairs and maintenance that need to be carried out so that these can be completed either by the site supervisor or by our other contractors.   The job will also involve carrying out various checks such as fire alarms and water.  If you have the skills to do small DIY tasks, this would be an asset but not essential. The Site Supervisor will be a key holder.
