Looking for a practical, hands-on role where your work is noticed and appreciated every day?
South Hampstead High School is looking for a reliable and proactive Site Assistant to join our friendly Premises Team. From setting up rooms and supporting events to basic repairs, site checks, security and general maintenance, you’ll help keep our school safe, welcoming and running smoothly.
This is a varied role in a supportive school community, ideal for someone with good practical skills, a can-do attitude and pride in doing a good job. You might have experience in caretaking, facilities, maintenance, porterage, property services or another hands-on role — school experience is not essential.
In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary, stable hours, training, generous annual leave, pension, paid sick leave, season ticket and cycle-to-work schemes, and access to a wide range of staff benefits.
Based in Hampstead and well served by public transport, this is a great opportunity to use your practical skills in a purposeful environment where no two days are the same.
We have various working patterns available: Monday to Friday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays to support school events and lettings.
