Facilities Management Assistant

Dulwich Prep & Senior is an exciting place to work - with over 800 pupils, it is the largest boys’ prep school in the UK and is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the world’s most cosmopolitan city.

We are committed to fostering a learning environment that encourages and celebrates continuous professional development (CPD), as we believe that a love for learning begins with our staff.

The school’s strength is its community: our staff, who are professional, passionate, and brilliantly collegiate; our pupils, who are inquisitive, challenging learners with a spring in their step, and our parents, who are hugely supportive, appreciative, and ambitious.

We are seeking to appoint a helpful, motivated and team focused individual to assist and support the facilities team with the daily preparation and maintenance of the whole school site, including Early Years, sports pavilions and the swimming pool. Duties include meeting and greeting facility hirers, as well as locking up and securing the school site. Having a flexible approach, willingness to adapt and being able to respond to priorities is essential.

The successful candidate will be able to share knowledge and information with other members of staff to promote good practice and work independently whilst consistently striving to maintain a high standard of work. A full UK driving license and a basic knowledge of and aptitude for, handyman tasks is essential. The ability to swim and drive a mini-bus would be helpful.

Working hours will operate on a two-week alternating rota:

• Week One: Monday to Friday 10.00am to 7.00pm
• Week Two: Monday to Friday 7.00am to 4.00pm
• Some Saturdays: 7.00am to 6.00pm for 15 Saturday’ across the year.
