The Role
We are seeking to appoint two cleaners to work at The King’s School, Gloucester, ensuring our facilities are well-kept, safe and offer a welcoming environment for students, staff and visitors. The successful candidates will have high standards, an eye for detail and a positive attitude to the role.
There are two distinct roles available:
* Role One will be based at the School’s sports complex at Archdeacon Meadow, working four hours per day (year-round);
* Role Two will be based primarily on the main School site, working eight hours per day (term-time only).
The School
The King’s School is one of the dozen oldest schools in the country and has a proud heritage dating back to at least 1087, with a re-foundation in 1541. King’s is the Cathedral School in the city of Gloucester, whilst the surrounding county is home to many excellent grammar and state schools, as well as other independent schools. King’s is held in high regard amidst this competitive area; our academic, co-curricular and pastoral attainment is second to none. As a result, the last three ISI reports for King’s have all been classified as ‘excellent’ in every area. Local media brand SoGlos has awarded King’s the title of ‘Independent School of the Year’ or ‘Highly Commended’ in every one of the last five years – a feat unmatched by any other local independent school. Despite the multiple national-scale challenges of recent years, King’s has seen its pupil roll growing steadily and parental satisfaction scoring very highly indeed. With careful investment in the campus and facilities, as well as a continuous focus on improving teaching and learning and developing our outstanding pastoral care, King’s is now seen as a dynamic, forward-thinking and impressive place to study and to work.
