Summary
Sherborne Schools Group is looking for a Porter / Cleaner to join our Services Team, based mainly at Sherborne Boys School, with some work across other schools in the Group when needed. This is a practical, hands‑on role that supports the day‑to‑day running of the School and helps keep our buildings and grounds clean, safe and ready for use.
The role is varied and active, combining cleaning duties with portering work. This includes daily cleaning of school buildings, helping with deeper cleans at certain times of the year, moving furniture and equipment, and setting up and clearing rooms for lessons, exams, school activities and events. You may also assist with deliveries and collections around the site, waste and recycling, and keeping outdoor areas tidy and safe, particularly during poor weather.
You will be part of a friendly and supportive Services Team, working closely with colleagues, pupils, staff and visitors, so a polite and helpful manner is important. A full driving licence is required, as the role may involve driving school vehicles from time to time.
This is a full‑time position, working 40 hours per week across 5 days out of 7, with some weekend working on a rota basis. Flexibility is important, as hours may occasionally vary to support school events or busy periods. No two days are the same, and the role would suit someone who enjoys practical work, working with others, and taking pride in keeping their workplace clean and well presented.
