Summary
About UsCathedral Schools Trust (CST) is a family of schools committed to inspiring learning both in and beyond the classroom. With a strong focus on music and the creative arts, we support every student and staff member in reaching their full potential. If you’re looking for a Trust that values creativity, growth, and meaningful learning, CST could be the perfect place for you.
We invite you to join our team at Bristol Cathedral Choir School. We exist to provide a world-class education for the children of Bristol – so that they leave with a deep understanding of the world around them. The school is a highly oversubscribed state cathedral choir school with a rich history and a Christian ethos. It is a music school, educating choristers for Bristol Cathedral for the past 880 years and offers an enhanced and rich musical experience for all. The school provides a traditional academic curriculum to its students, regardless of their background or ability, and emphasises the teaching of ‘Powerful Knowledge’.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join a talented and highly committed operations team at the beginning of a period of significant change at the school – moving the school from delivering good educational provision to something that is genuinely world class. The role will start as soon as possible..
The school site is complex and there is lots going on – including plenty of estates and caretaking activity, and increased numbers of external lettings. The successful candidates will work closely as part of an Estates Team, directed by the Site Manager on daily tasks, but with a portfolio of ‘owned’ responsibilities. The exact responsibilities from week to week will depend on the shift pattern of the team (see below). The postholder for the later shift will be responsible for lettings as well as late shift caretaking duties and site lock-up.Candidates should indicate in their application statement their preferred shift pattern.
