Start asap

Applications are invited to join our busy Housekeeping team on a permanent basis and to start as soon as possible subject to pre-employment checks.

We have some permanent vacancies in our Boarding House team. This team normally work during the hours of 08:15am and 16:00pm. Although full time working is preferred, we will consider some applications for part -time, school hours and term time subject to business requirements. Please indicate clearly in your application what hours and work pattern you are interested in working.

Post holders may be required to work outside of these hours on occasion including working in the Public Areas team from time to time. Full time working is typically 35 hours per week. The working pattern for cleaning teams regardless of any other flexibility agreed includes regular weekend working e.g. 5 out of 7 days for a full time cleaner.

Previous experience of cleaning in a residential school, commercial or school environment is helpful, although not essential. This is a very physical role. It requires working while standing, covering large distances and flights of stairs on foot. Reasonable physical effort in bending, twisting, and in pulling and pushing cleaning equipment.

All posts are subject to a probationary period of six months.

Benefits include 6.2 weeks holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) per annum (some to be taken at Christmas closedown), a stakeholder pension scheme for eligible staff, free on-site parking, free lunch when pupils on site and uniform. Although there is a local train station own transport would be beneficial.

This is a check for cautions, warnings, reprimands and convictions (including spent convictions) and a search of the DBS Children’s Barred List which ensures that a candidate is not barred from working with vulnerable groups.
