Advert

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic individual to join our team at Goat Lees Primary School. Our vacancy is available in the New Year.

We would welcome applications from existing site staff as well as those who may be looking for a change of direction. As a relatively new one-form entry primary school, our building is well maintained but strength or interest in a trade or general maintenance would be welcome so applicants should include details of this on their application form. A knowledge of Health & Safety and a wide range of practical skills are required for this role as well as excellent communications skills.

Working hours may be subject to variation and call-out at weekends and unsocial hours may be necessary from time to time although in general the hours for this post would be 37 per week.  For example, during term time hours are likely to be: Monday – Thursday 7:00am-10:00am then 1:30pm-6:00pm and on Friday  7:00am-10:00am then 1:30pm-5:30pm.

During school holidays, an 8:00am-4:00pm shift is preferred most days.  A job share would be considered if we had two exceptional candidates who wished to share mornings/afternoons between them.  The annual holiday entitlement is 25 days (increasing to 28 days after 5 years’ service with KCC).  The majority of holiday will need to be taken in term time but this could be flexible.

Previous experience of working in a school is an advantage, but not essential. All new staff undergo an induction programme and relevant training will be provided if required. Willingness to undertake minibus training in order to assist with transporting small groups of pupils/staff for school trips or events would also be advantageous.

We are looking for the best possible candidates who will share our school’s vision and:

  • Complement our existing team
  • Support our school ethos and values and contribute to them through their own strengths, interests and talents
  • Can be flexible and are willing to adapt to the changing demands of a primary school setting
  • Have determination and commitment to ensure that the school site affords children the very best experience
  • Uphold the high standards we seek to achieve for all our children
  • Self-motivated with a “Can Do” attitude

If you would like to look around Goat Lees please contact us when we return for Term 3 on Tuesday 4 January to arrange a visit later that week.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
