Caretaker
Northwood College for Girls
Northwood, North West London
£30,291 to £35,967
Don't settle for your next maintenance job. Find one that moves your career forward.
You're practical. You enjoy fixing things, learning new skills and seeing the results of a job well done. Now you're looking for somewhere that will invest in your future, develop your skills and help you build a career, not just another maintenance job.
At Northwood College for Girls, part of the prestigious Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), you'll join a friendly Estates Team that helps keep one of the UK's leading independent girls' schools running smoothly.
About the Role
- No two days are the same.
- You'll carry out a variety of maintenance tasks, support school events and help create a safe, welcoming environment for pupils, staff and visitors.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
