Are you a practical, hands-on problem-solver who takes pride in keeping a site safe, smart and running smoothly? We're looking for Premises Officers to join ALP Schools and help care for three small independent schools supporting young people with special educational needs.

Working alongside our Premises Manager, you'll be the person who keeps everything ticking, from routine maintenance and minor repairs to compliance checks, security and the day-to-day upkeep that makes our schools a welcoming place to learn.

• Liaising with contractors and keeping health & safety standards front and centre
• Acting as a keyholder, supporting site security and locking-up routines
• Keeping the sites clean, tidy and conducive to learning
• Managing the school vehicles' servicing, MOTs and checks

What we're looking for

• A relevant Health & Safety qualification or training
• Skills or experience in a trade, with solid building repair and maintenance know-how
• Good understanding of regulations such as COSHH, manual handling and legionella
• A flexible, conscientious approach and the initiative to prioritise your own workload
• A full driving licence; you'll travel between our three sites
• A genuine understanding of, and patience with, children with SEN
