This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to join our site team at The Harleston Sancroft Academy (primary phase site), supporting us to deliver the very best outcomes for our community. The role requires flexibility, the hours of the later shift support our evening lettings, though at present the primary site is not available to hire. If, at a future point, we are able to hire the primary site to the community the finish time of this shift is in line with the last hire. The start time is adjusted accordingly. Shifts are typically 05:45-08:15 or 15:30-18:00 (alternating weeks)

Additional hours may be available, in which case the remit will increase in line with the full job description. You will be asked to work 1-2 weekends per year to cover annual leave of other caretakers within the team.

This is an incredibly exciting time for Harleston and the community we serve, as we enter a new phase in our educational provision. The Harleston Sancroft Academy (as 3-16 Church of England School) opened on 1st September 2022, providing an all through school offer for the children and young people of the town and its surrounding areas.

We are extremely proud of our ethos and the very positive relationships which exist at our school. The Harleston Sancroft Academy, part of the St Benet’s Multi Academy Trust, is an oversubscribed, inclusive and very successful 3-16 Church of England school in South Norfolk where children thrive and achieve very well. Children are supported to flourish and grow with responsibility and resilience. The primary and secondary phases are located approximately half a mile apart.

You should:

• Be committed to the highest standards of site maintenance, health and safety
• Be an experienced handyperson or DIY enthusiast
• Be reliable and flexible to meet the needs of our community
• Have good interpersonal skills to work alongside staff and hirers who include community groups, charities and businesses

We can offer you:

• A child centred ethos which achieves high standards of behaviour for learning and attainment
• A professional, welcoming and supportive staff with high expectations
• An opportunity to work in a good location where the cost of housing is attractive
• The support of an informed and active Local Governing Committee and Trust
• A very supportive and encouraging Senior Leadership Team
• Close collaboration throughout the Trust

Culture and ethos:

• Proactively promote and demonstrate the Diocese’s vision and values in all aspects of work
• Challenge, motivate and empower others to set high aspirations and attain ambitious outcomes
• Treat everyone as a valued individual who is loved by God
• Promote and demonstrate a culture of continuous improvement which includes keeping abreast of educational developments and best management practice
• Work collaboratively developing the concept of family across the Trusts and their academies
• Ensure regular open and honest communication in all professional duties
• Recognise the importance of serving the wider community and promoting inclusivity.
• Undertake such other reasonable duties as may be required from time to time as are consistent with the responsibilities of the grade.
