Site Maintenance Assistant

Located in the heart of Portsmouth, The Flying Bull Academy is a two form entry primary school with a vibrant Nursery and an alternative provision setting for children with SEMH needs. The Academy is proud of its caring ethos; encouraging and supporting children and colleagues to achieve their full potential.  It is a positive, vibrant school, with a curriculum that inspires and enables our children to build upon prior knowledge and experiences in order to deepen their knowledge both academically and socially.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Site Maintenance Assistant to join our team who are responsible for the maintenance and security of the school premises and site.

With knowledge of building maintenance and a willingness to undertake training, you will have a professional, friendly and helpful approach.  You will understand the need to be flexible, conscientious and reliable, and enjoy contributing to a team whilst able to work with minimum supervision. 

In return, you will be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust, bringing you added benefits and opportunities. You will find that each of our Academies has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.
