Derbyshire Health United jobs in Chesterfield

Are you practical, proactive and passionate about creating safe, welcoming spaces? Do you take pride in a job well done and enjoy a role where no two days are quite the same? We'd love to hear from you!

At St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, we believe that great schools deserve great environments, and that's where you come in!

We're looking for a reliable, enthusiastic and hands-on Premises Officer to join our Trust Estates Team, helping to keep our academies safe, secure and looking their very best.

From maintaining our buildings and grounds to making sure everything runs safely and smoothly, you'll play a vital part in creating the welcoming, well-maintained spaces our children and colleagues deserve.

This is a varied and rewarding role where your practical skills, initiative and attention to detail will make a genuine difference every day.

As a Premises Officer, you'll help ensure our school buildings and grounds are well maintained, safe and ready for everything the school day brings.

You'll work closely with colleagues across the Trust Estates Team, supporting the day-to-day management of our premises and contributing to our wider estates strategy.

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Keeping our schools looking their best - Carrying out routine maintenance, minor repairs and general upkeep of our buildings and grounds.

• Making safety a priority - Undertaking inspections, identifying and reporting potential hazards, maintaining compliance records and supporting our statutory health and safety responsibilities.

• Keeping everything running smoothly - Supporting site security, monitoring heating and building systems and helping ensure our facilities operate efficiently.

• Working together to get things done - Supporting contractors, maintaining premises documentation and working collaboratively with school colleagues and the wider Estates Team.

• Being ready for the unexpected - Helping with emergency and contingency arrangements, responding flexibly to changing priorities and participating in an out-of-hours emergency call-out rota.

• Making a positive difference for the future - Supporting energy efficiency, reducing waste and helping promote sustainable practices across our buildings.

We're looking for someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining high standards and understands just how important a safe, well-maintained school environment is.

You'll bring practical maintenance experience, good health and safety awareness and a proactive approach to getting things done.

Being organised, reliable and able to work both independently and as part of a team will be important, as will your willingness to work flexibly across our school sites.

Above all, we're looking for someone who cares about doing a great job and understands that their work, however big or small the task, makes a real difference to our school communities.

At St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, we're proud to be a family of 25 Catholic schools working together to give children and young people the very best opportunities to learn, grow and flourish.

Established on 1 September 2018 as part of the Diocese of Nottingham, our Trust brings together schools across Derby City, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire and Stockport, united by a shared commitment to excellence in education and the wellbeing of our school communities.

Our schools are about so much more than classrooms and lessons. They're places of belonging, opportunity and possibility, where every child deserves to feel safe, valued and supported.

And we know that achieving this takes more than brilliant teachers. It takes a whole team of dedicated people, each playing their part.

Whatever your role, your contribution matters. Because when our schools thrive, our children can too.

Because we believe that looking after our people is just as important as looking after our schools.

Joining St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi-Academy Trust means becoming part of a supportive community that values your contribution, encourages your development and recognises the difference you make.

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Learning and development that supports you - Access to high-quality continuing professional development (CPD), including opportunities through our partnerships and development programmes.

• Opportunities to grow - With 25 academies in our Trust and 84 across the Diocese, there are genuine opportunities to develop your skills, progress your career and explore new possibilities.

• Support when life gets challenging - Our Employee Assistance Programme provides free, confidential and independent information, advice and guidance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with access to counselling support where appropriate.

• A pension that invests in your future - Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, offering valuable retirement benefits and generous employer contributions.

• Fair pay and conditions - Our commitment to nationally agreed terms and conditions means we recognise and value the important work our colleagues do.

• A role with real purpose - The chance to be part of a team where your work contributes directly to creating fantastic places for children to learn and colleagues to work.

We're proud of our schools, we're proud of our people, and we'd love you to be part of our Trust family.

If you're a hands-on problem solver who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work and wants to make a meaningful contribution to our school communities, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
