The school opened with a founding team of staff in September 2022 to 240 young people and continues to grow annually to a pupil body of 1200.

The post of Site Assistant will play a key role in ensuring our new state of the art school operates seamlessly and that the buildings and grounds we provide for our children and staff are well cared for and something we all take great pride in. You will form part of a talented and committed staff that is growing a school from Year 7 up; supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school and having the benefit of a brand new building with all new facilities and supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust.

In brief we are looking for:

  • An individual committed to ambition, excellence and community who will work with the staff body to drive the growth and development of The Brian Clarke CE Academy to become an outstanding provider for young people and a school where staff, who are committed and ambitious for young people, take pride in and enjoy their work.
  • An individual able to build relationships and rapport with school staff, students and contractors as well as communicating directly with relevant external organisations. Excellent planning, communication and listening skills are key.
  • Someone who will go the extra mile in their work, not because they are asked to but because they want to; someone who will do their utmost to do their best for our school community.
  • Someone who will inspire students and the staff they work with.
  • An excellent communicator with sound analytical skills and flexible in their approach.


Working for The Brian Clarke CE Academy means that you would be part of the Cranmer Education Trust, a successful, growing Trust which prides itself on looking after its people, offering a high level of support and access to expertise. This is an excellent time to join the team as we develop collaborative structures and systems to enhance and support our growing family of schools.

Alongside The Brian Clarke CE Academy, the Trust is made up of primary and secondary schools across Oldham and Rochdale. The Trust also incorporates a teacher training school and the East Manchester Teaching Hub and a MFL hub, which support the training and development of new and existing teachers across the North West of England.

This position will be based at The Brian Clarke Academy, Oldham, but may from time to time require travel as necessary to collaborate with other schools which are all locally based.


We offer:

  • Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust
  • Schools: A strong school community that places children, families and staff at the heart of everything we do.
  • A supportive team who will work with and alongside you to achieve the very best
  • LGPS career average pension scheme with a generous employer contribution
