Come and join our fabulous team!

A vacancy has arisen for a Caretaker to support the operations of the school site, perform Health & Safety statutory testing and to carry out proactive and reactive premises improvements, to include general repairs/maintenance works, painting and basic plumbing and carpentry. We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working Caretaker who is passionate about providing a safe and well-maintained environment for our pupils and staff.

Preferably, you will have experience in a similar role, knowledge of health & safety expectations and experience of building maintenance and/or decorating (all desirable but not essential). You will have the ability to prioritise tasks and to work positively with a variety of different people. A sense of humour is a must!

This is a permanent, all year round position. You will work the 27.5 hours in split shifts to allow for the daily opening/closing of the school premises. Your work pattern will be 7am to 10am, then 3.30pm to 6pm.

We have a friendly, family-feel vibe and would strongly encourage you to come and visit to see what a warm and welcoming school we are!

We can offer you:

- The opportunity to join a supportive and friendly staff team

- A welcoming and caring ethos

- A chance to play a significant part in the continuing development of our school

- Access to a staff well-being package

- Ongoing training

- Ongoing support from an experienced Multi-Academy Trust

- A car park on site

- A school situated close to a Greggs, chip shop, Pizza and Tesco (not great for a diet!)
