Caretaker

Overview

The Premises Management Team are integral to the day-to-day running of our school. They are first on site in the morning and last on site in the evening. The team is key to ensuring the environment our students and staff study and work in is operating safely and efficiently.

The team comprises the Operations Manager, Premises Officer and the Caretaker role. A flexible and hardworking team, you will all work together to support the whole school and all school events.

The school is on a large site, which includes a climbing wall, sports centre, fitness suite, astro pitch and cricket nets, and is maintained to a high standard by the Premises Management Team, with the help of contractors for grounds maintenance and cleaning.

Core Responsibilties

We have a fantastic opportunity for a positive, energetic and hard-working person to join our team as a Caretaker.

We are looking for someone who will take pride in our school and ensure that the environment is safe, clean and tidy for our students to learn, staff to work and to welcome our visitors.

Part of this role requires you to be a friendly face to welcome our students and families to our school. We are therefore looking for someone who is approachable, reliable, trustworthy and committed. You will be able to work on your own and as part of a team, communicate with all those within our community and be flexible in your approach, able to respond to changing priorities as they arise.

You will have at least basic maintenance and DIY skills and may have previously worked in a school caretaker or similar role; however, this is not essential.

We look forward to receiving your application for this opportunity.
