Are you a Maintenance Professional who can enrich the lives of young people? 

Both Shifnal and Higford School are looking for responsible, hands-on Maintenance Professionals to join their fantastic teams. As the Maintenance Professional, you will help support our children and young people in their daily lives, by ensuring our sites are well maintained and equipped to meet their needs.

There may also be additional responsibilities within these posts, as our schools are also linked to Residential Care Homes. 

General Responsibilities

  • To oversee maintenance work across the school as allocated by the site manager
  • To work within health and safety arrangements
  • Offer a positive ‘can do’ attitude, be able to work on your own initiative (unsupervised), as well as part of a Team to maintain a high standard on the site.

​This is a great opportunity to work as part of a team committed to helping children with varied and complex needs. You will take pride in maintaining our schools and/or care homes from day to day repairs to completing risk assessments, carrying out security procedures, checking equipment and contributing to care home development projects.

For many of our children, consistency is key, and our Maintenance Professionals will take time to make sure everything is as it should be for us to run smoothly and safely.

We are looking for a Maintenance Professional, who has some experience in a trade such as plumbing, electrics, carpentry and shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Previous experience in a similar role is essential but some training will be given. The right DIY skills, motivation, and personal qualities are just as important. These roles are ideal for people with skills in maintenance, DIY and health and safety, looking for a new role that makes a real difference to children’s lives and futures.

You will be quality focused, efficient, able to work at pace, and motivated to help us provide a safe, caring environment where every child can thrive.

  • Continuous professional development & training for a clear career path

  • Be part of a fantastic team who work hard together and support each other
