Required for Park Academy

We are looking to appoint a Cleaner to support our busy, vibrant Academy.

The successful candidate should have the ability to:

• Carry out work under minimal supervision.
• Perform the physical tasks required by the post, including lifting, carrying and pushing waste bins, cleaning trolleys and vacuum cleaners.
• Fulfil their cleaning rota within the required time period to the quality standard expected.

STEP Academy Trust is inclusive, with the highest academic standards; we will take children from all backgrounds and give them the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish.   The happiness, well-being and success of our pupils is at the centre of everything we do.

STEP Academy Trust seeks staff who believe in the Trust’s Values of:

• Passion — Working in education, we have the ability to profoundly change children’s lives; the stakes are incredibly high. Our aim should always be to provide for the pupils of our Academies what we would want for our own children
• Urgency — The amount of time children spend in education is finite. We have a responsibility to ensure every moment a child is in a STEP Academy must be spent productively. Once wasted, it is gone forever and cannot be given back.
• Positivity — Staff have a responsibility to be positive and supportive of each other. Negativity leads to low expectations and a culture where excuses are tolerated.
• Aspiration — Embodied in the Trust motto, “Striving Together for Excellence in Partnership,” all members of staff aim for excellence in their individual professional roles.
• Commitment — Staff are prepared to go the extra mile to provide the best possible education for their pupils. The interests of children are always placed ahead of those of staff.
