Are you someone who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in maintaining high standards, and wants to be part of a school where your contribution is genuinely valued?
We're looking for a proactive and dependable Caretaker to join a thriving school. This is much more than a site maintenance role—it's an opportunity to become an integral part of a team that creates a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment where children can learn, grow and succeed.
Whether you're an experienced caretaker or looking to develop your career in site and facilities management, you'll have the opportunity to broaden your skills, take ownership of your work and grow within a supportive organisation.
The Role
You'll play a key role in ensuring our school remains a safe, secure and well-maintained environment for pupils, staff and visitors.
Premises and Facilities
- Carry out planned and reactive maintenance, repairs and general DIY tasks
- Ensure the school buildings and grounds are safe, clean and well presented
- Coordinate contractors and oversee maintenance work on site
- Manage deliveries and maintain stock of essential site supplies
- Act as a key holder, including responding to alarm call-outs when required
- Support ongoing improvements to the school environment
