You will support the Senior Administrator and act as a point of contact for H&S matters. You will also support the undertaking of risk assessments, H&S inductions and ensuring all school staff remain up to date with mandatory compliance training e.g. Fire Safety training. You will assist in the facilities projects such as office moves and renovations and be responsible for the schools asset inventory.

You’ll be organised and have the ability to work under your own initiative and judgement. It would be advantageous to have an awareness of H&S principles, although this is not a necessity as full training will be provided.
