Kendrick School is a successful 11-18 girls’ grammar school in the centre of Reading. Graded ‘Outstanding’ in its last OFSTED inspection, Kendrick School is a centre of academic excellence with a track record of high performance and achievement.

These high standards are extended to our school site, and we are looking for a hardworking and enthusiastic Evening Site Assistant to work as part of the Premises Team to ensure these standards are maintained.

Joining us as soon as possible, the successful candidate’s role would involve general caretaking duties, working as part of a team to ensure the security, safety, cleanliness and general maintenance of the school site, and supporting the operation of the busy leisure facilities for hirers.

We are looking for someone who has good practical skills and/or maintenance experience and who takes pride in their work. You must be professional, reliable and flexible in your approach and enjoy working as part of a team but also be able to work on your own initiative and be self-motivated.

Previous school caretaking experience is desirable but not essential, and full training would be given.

Kendrick School is a welcoming, inclusive and happy community. We can offer you:

Friendly, welcoming and supportive colleagues.

Access to a free 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.

Training and development.

Generous annual leave entitlement, 25 days plus bank holidays, rising to 30 days after 5 years of continuous service.

Local Government Pension Scheme membership.

Free onsite parking.

A subsidised canteen.

Access to our swimming pool and fitness and wellbeing initiatives.
