Summer School Operative

ABOUT St. MICHAEL'S SCHOOL
St. Michael's School and sixth form is one of the UK's leading independent schools, consistently highly ranked yet remaining inclusive and committed to our mission of success for all students who join us. We offer an outstanding education, combining the pursuit of academic excellence with all-round personal development, for boys and girls aged 3-18 years.

ABOUT OUR SUMMER SCHOOL
Across all our sites we run a busy Summer School, welcoming anywhere up to 400 students on short summer courses. The students come from all over the world and are here to learn English and explore our wonderful cities and towns.

In order to make sure they have a five star experience, we need a team of motivated people to help out with operations. This is a varied role with an evolving list of tasks. You could be making beds, cleaning rooms or making sandwiches!

Offering a salary of £457.60 per week, the positions are for 6-10 weeks from mid-July (various start dates available) working 40 hours per week. Accommodation with board is available if required as part of the package (offset allowance charged at £69.33 per week).

The roles would suit college / uni students, gap students or anyone looking to earn an extra income this summer. You do not need any experience as full training will be given. We also have some weekend only positions available, this can be discussed at initial screening. You will need to possess a can-do attitude as it is all hands on deck during the summer. An ability to work on your own initiative as well as being a good team player is a pre-requisite. Experience gained within a residential environment would be of use and a sense of humour goes a long way too!
