Head Of Grounds And Gardens
2 weeks ago
The role of Head of Grounds and Gardens fulfils an essential element of our Estates Team maintaining the grounds and gardens at both Prior Park College, Bath, and The Paragon School, Bath, reporting to the Estates Manager.
The Head of Grounds and Gardens will lead a team of gardeners and grounds persons in maintaining the 45 acres at Prior Park College and 15 acres at The Paragon School, ensuring that all sports pitches, play surfaces, gardens, and outdoor spaces across the school sites are maintained to the required standard.
As the direct line manager to members of the Grounds & Gardens team, this is a working role requiring a hands-on approach.
It is essential to communicate with staff at all levels, be self-motivated, and lead by example.
The candidate must also be able to manage and balance the needs of multiple sites while demonstrating a high degree of organisational skills and forward planning, all while being sympathetic to the educational, as well as practical, requirements of the Schools.
The role is all year round (not term time only) and will commence in January 2025, upon completion of pre-employment checks.
Prior Park Schools are a family of Christian schools comprising Prior Park College (Bath), The Paragon Junior School (Bath), and Prior Park School Gibraltar.
The Schools' Mission is to steward a thriving family of communities with love for the young people they serve at their heart.
These vibrant communities cultivate creativity, foster integrity, and transform lives.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
Applicants must undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
Closing date for applications: 12:00 noon Friday 6 December 2024.
Interview date: Friday 13 December 2024.
The School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.
Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.
To apply for a position with Prior Park Educational Trust, candidates are asked to download and complete an application form, available to download from our website.
