Geoffrey Field Infant and Junior Schools are well established schools at the heart of the local community in South Reading. The schools are part of the extremely successful Whitley Excellence Cluster.

We are seeking an experienced, flexible and well organised Site Controller to work across both schools. If you believe children have the right to learn in a clean, safe and well maintained environment, we would welcome your application.

• Working hours: Monday to Friday between 7:00am and 6:30pm (start and finish times to be discussed during the interview process and will not exceed daily allocation).
• From time to time, you may be asked to vary your working hours to meet the operational needs of the school, such as during school holidays or weekends for site works. A flexible approach is therefore essential.

The Schools Offer You

• friendly and enthusiastic pupils who are polite and well behaved
• a supportive and varied working environment
• inspirational leadership and fantastic staff
• extensive and attractive grounds with excellent outdoor provision

You Will Offer The Schools

• commitment to pupil welfare and the wider school community
• skills in DIY and property maintenance, working indoors and outdoors
• knowledge of Health & Safety legislation and the ability to apply this in a school environment
• energy, proactivity and a collaborative approach

Visits to the schools are considered essential for this post prior to application. Applications will be reviewed upon receipt.

Application packs are available to download from the school website at www.geofffreyfieldinfant.co.uk

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Please do not send a CV. For the purposes of Equal Opportunities we can only accept Reading Borough application forms.

This Authority/School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An Enhanced Criminal Records Disclosure will be sought from the successful candidate.
