• Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people?
• Do you want to be a part of a values led, driven and innovative team developing the UK’s first secure school?

We are offering an exciting opportunity for someone with practical maintenance skills and experience in Facilities and Estates to join a dedicated team of Facilities Assistants at Oasis Restore, the first secure school in England.

Oasis Restore represents a revolution in youth justice : an opportunity for children within the criminal justice system to experience a restorative environment that creates the potential for them to thrive in the future. We have dual registered as a 16-19 Academy and Secure Children’s Home

The role and what we are looking for?

Your role as a Facilities Assistant in Restore is a commitment to bettering the outcomes of vulnerable children and imparting your knowledge and experience onto others to better the system of care in the youth secure estate.

You will be a pivotal member of the maintenance team responsible for the general security and upkeep of the Restore site. The role exists within a secure academy trust, benefiting from the organisational learning in governance and leadership within a national academy trust.

This role reports to the Facilities Manager who has responsibility for the school’s maintenance and standards related to site and operations. You and the team will work to support a team of specialists within education, care, and health and you will attend to all aspects of building, facilities and estate at Oasis Restore to ensure we achieve the highest quality standards in the Children's Homes Regulations and Guidance, the Social Care Common Inspection Framework and health and safety.

We recognise this role is unique and does not exist as such within the youth justice sectors.

From our experience of building new organisations from scratch – and of developing schools – we have learnt that we need to be agile and respond to learning and development of our structures. We welcome and expect on-going dialogue with the successful candidate to refine and develop the detail of these responsibilities to ensure it reflects and the needs and demands of the post.
