The Role:

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated, flexible and hardworking individual to join our estates team, working primarily at Parkfield School, and when required, at two other Reach South schools in Bournemouth.

You'll be working in a team of highly skilled colleagues; two Site Managers, a Site Assistant and a Regional Site Manager, learning key skills and gaining experience in site maintenance, with the opportunity for career development.

You'll be covering duties such as grounds maintenance, health and safety checks as defined by our compliance software, security of site and keyholder duties, and carrying out small remedial or decorating works.

At Parkfield School you will be working with a large network of teaching and support staff and you will work closely with the Headteacher and other Senior Leaders who will provide direction and guidance as needed.

The role is line managed by the Regional Site Manager and the Trusts Estates Operations Manager will offer assistance and direction.

The role is to ensure that the pupils, staff and visitors have a safe and secure site; experience of working in a busy education environment would be an advantage but is not essential.

We are looking for people who have the following experience and qualities:


  • Building relationships with a variety of stakeholders e.g. school staff, suppliers, contractors and the Trust central team
  • Relevant experience of working in a similar role
  • Have the ability to work independently and use own initiative when required
  • Be able to display effective communication skills
  • Be eager to work collaboratively in a wider team, be adaptable and open to new ideas and practices
  • Ensure safe working practises and safeguarding practises are upheld
  • Able to deal with change and unpredictability positively with a "can do" attitude
  • Literacy and numeracy and competent with basic IT packages


Our Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Rigorous checks will be made of the successful applicant's background credentials, including an enhanced DBS check.


School Background:

Parkfield School is an all-through (ages 4 to 16) co-educational school of circa 450 pupils offering a fresh approach and choice that allows pupils to discover learning, unlock their potential, find their place in their community and play their part in society.


The School offers a positive, safe learning environment for its community, in which everyone has equal and individual recognition and respect.


With a new Leadership Team at Parkfield School, experienced teachers and outstanding support staff, the School is committed to the development of the whole child to nurture, inspire and enable all of the students, giving them the skills and knowledge to flourish.


Trust Background:

Reach South is a young and developing Trust which operates across the South West of England with the aim of delivering all through 3-19 education.

We operate 14 academies in Plymouth, Bournemouth, Dorset and Wiltshire. We are building this Trust on a clear set of values, behaviours and curriculum principles.

At the heart of those values and principles is a belief in our young people and a determination to support them to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become the successful citizens for today and all of their tomorrows.

Our core business is delivering exceptional education for children and young people with a mission to help all pupils aspire to achieve beyond the expectations that others put on them.

We do this through the development of a talented and committed workforce. In order to deliver exceptional opportunities for learning, we need highly motivated staff across all parts of the organisation.

Those we recruit are able to demonstrate that they share our values, are highly motivated to work with colleagues, within and beyond their school, to continuously develop their skills and pursue professional excellence.
