Caretaking staff, as members of the Facilities Team, are the frontline representatives of the school in many areas, such as maintenance, site security, school events and hirings, so good interpersonal skills are essential.  

They have a vital role to play in the smooth running of the establishment and should use their initiative to prevent foreseeable problems within their areas of responsibility and to put in hand preventative maintenance wherever possible.  

The School uses a compliance helpdesk system called ‘Every’. All staff use this to report items such as H&S, remedial maintenance, event set ups etc. ‘Every’ is also used for statutory maintenance that needs completing on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. The Caretaking Team will use the compliance software to deal with maintenance, most everyday repairs and day to day running problems.  The Senior Caretaker will meet on a regular basis with the Facilities Director to exchange information and discuss any problems.

Aylesbury High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. Our Safeguarding Statement is attached. The appointment will be subject to references which are satisfactory for the advertised post, an enhanced DBS check with a Child Barred List check, identity checks, prohibition orders and qualification checks as appropriate.

CVs alone cannot be accepted for safeguarding reasons

If you are shortlisted for this post, you will also be required to complete a self-disclosure form as part of the recruitment process; this will not be used for shortlisting purposes.
