The Head Teacher and Trustees of the Richmond upon Thames School are seeking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic Estates Assistant to join our dedicated team to support the day-to-day running of the RTS site, including a wide range of duties and responsibilities connected with the fabric and grounds of the school. We encourage applications from candidates who are self-motivated, have a team work ethos, present with the highest professional standards and fully embrace 'The RTS Way.' The position is for 31.5 hours per week (shift pattern TBC).
This role is an integral part of the business support staff team that makes a significant contribution to the progress, welfare and safety of our students. Due to our ongoing growth, this is an exciting time for a Estates Assistant to gain experience in the role with plenty of scope for development under the supervision of the SLT Line Manager.

The School/Trust reserves the right to commence the interview process at any time prior to the closing date so early application is recommended.
Safeguarding

Successful applicants will be expected to complete an enhanced DBS check and to disclose any information relevant to Disqualification by Association.
Online searches
In accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance, the school conducts online searches for shortlisted candidates as part of the process of assessing suitability. The purpose of the online search is to ensure that potential candidates are suitable for the role they have applied for and will not pose a safeguarding risk or damage the reputation of the school. The online search does not form part of the shortlisting process itself, and it will not be carried out by the interview panel. The search will only be carried out by individuals who are not involved in any other aspect of the recruitment process.
All relevant information uncovered will be discussed with the applicant at the interview, and no recruitment decision will be made solely on the basis of an online search. All candidates will be treated consistently, and no irrelevant information uncovered will be provided to the staff responsible for interviewing the job applicant.
