Assistant Premises Officer

Mount St Mary’s is a successful and oversubscribed inner city school located in the very heart of the city. Drawing from three of the four compass points the school flourishes in an atmosphere of engagement and aspiration drawing hugely upon the experiences of our incredibly diverse community.

In April 2019 the school underwent a Section 48 Inspection gaining an overall judgement of Good with Outstanding. The report comments "Students are polite, confident and respectful in the way they treat each other and interact with staff and visitors. They are .. highly articulate and proud of their school and their personal achievements. Behaviour in school is excellent and a strength of the school as it reflects its Catholic character."

Our recent Section 5 OFSTED Inspection (10/2019) graded our school as 'Good' in all areas. It described us as a joyful place, with an authentic mission...clearly embraced by all the school community and foragers a passion... for desiring to give back. Leaders have developed a nurturing school, one in which there is a strong sense of responsibility towards each other. We have a well established reputation for our care, guidance and support ensuring all learners are afforded a high level of structure and personalised development.

With the return to national progress comparatives in 2022, Mount St Mary’s topped both local and regional tables for P8. This success appears to have been replicated in 2023, where we are actively bucking the national trends.

All students seek to access extra curricular activities beyond the school day, be that of a sporting nature, academic, performing arts or public speaking. This is an area we value highly and continue to see growth in.

We require an Assistant Premises Officer to commence as soon as possible.

Under the instruction/guidance of appropriate senior staff, the Assistant Premises Officer has responsibility for care, maintenance and security of the school site, including the fabric, grounds and facilities. The Assistant Premises Officer will work with the Premises Manager in matters of security, health and safety, maintenance, heating, cleaning appearance and other site services within the premises and grounds. They may have a specific brief, for example aspects of health and safety, where they will be asked to work autonomously and to use their own initiative but within defined guidelines and standards.

Support staff application forms and further details are available from our website - Vacancies – Mount St Mary's (mountstmarys.org). Application forms should be returned to Mrs Stubbs by email – [email protected]
