SCHOOL ELECTRICIAN


We are looking for a fully qualified Electrician to join the Estates Department at a busy independent school in Perthshire.

The School Campus, and therefore electrical network, is extensive and will require you to be technically competent, enthusiastic and reliable with good inter-personal skills to fit into our small Estates Team and to ensure that the School’s electrical systems are efficient and safe.
 
You must be able to work unsupervised and proactively assist the Estate Manager in all matters requiring an electrical input. You will be expected to be able to work on your own initiative and to agreed performance targets, demonstrating a high level of organisational and time management skills.

You must have a minimum of 5 years electrical experience as an Approved Electrician and be able to undertake a variety of domestic & commercial electrical tasks including installation works, maintenance, fault finding, inspection, testing & certification.

Please note that the current duties of our electrician post includes the maintenance and servicing of low pressure boilers and ancillary systems.

As the work is in a school context, you will be required to attain PVG membership.
 
You should hold a valid full UK driving licence.

This is a permanent position and you must be eligible to live and work in the UK.

You will be expected to keep the School informed of your home/mobile contact details so that you can be contactable in an emergency. There is a clear expectation that, within reason, you will respond to such emergencies immediately. Should you attend the School out of hours for an emergency or routine matter, you will be remunerated at the rate in force at that time.

Ideally, the start date is the 21st of June to allow a 10 week handover period with the retiring School Electrician (who retires at the end of August), but this is negotiable for the right Candidate.

Benefits include;
• Competitive salary
• Free lunch during term time
• Personal accident insurance
• Pension Scheme (after qualifying period)
• 30 days paid annual leave

SCHOOL LETTINGS MANAGER

We are looking for a full time Lets Manager. The School, in 150 acres of parkland offers a wonderful venue for residential groups in rural Perthshire. Whilst enjoying all the benefits of our rural setting, we are only 7 miles from Perth and have easy road and rail links with both Edinburgh (40mins) and Glasgow (50mins). This location combines the benefits of easy access with a fabulous natural environment and space for excellent facilities within the School.
Our hire facilities are particularly suited to medium and large residential bookings but we have sports and leisure facilities that are of interest to Sports Clubs & Activity Camps both on a residential and non-residential hire basis.

The post is currently part-time and the School is looking to develop its already extensive lettings programme which will require the post being full time. The current post holder is retiring after this Summer’s Lettings programme.
 
The School has had occasional lets over the Christmas holiday and has groups in during the Easter break but the main focus of the Lettings programme is during July and early August. We have, over the last few years built up a regular client base of a variety of groups upon which to build.
You will be responsible for delivering and developing the lets programme under the direction of the Bursar. Click here for Job Description and here for Person Specification.
You will be expected to be a proactive, professional self-starter, able to work on your own initiative and to agreed performance targets, demonstrating a high level of organisational and time management skills.

As the work is in a school context, you will be required to attain PVG membership.
 
You should, if possible, hold a valid full UK driving licence.
