Are you a hands-on, practical person who prioritises safety and security? Do you want to make a visible impact on the daily operations of our school?

Watling Academy is seeking a proactive and dedicated Caretaker to join our team. In this role, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operations of our school, maintaining the safety, security and overall upkeep of the building and grounds. We are committed to providing a welcoming and safe environment for students, staff and visitors; as our Caretaker, you will be instrumental in helping us achieve that goal.

Responsibilities include routine maintenance, repairs and cleaning duties, such as painting, fixing equipment and maintaining the school grounds to reduce hazards. You'll also assist in setting up for events, managing daily operational tasks and providing security by opening and locking the premises. Health and safety are central to this role and you will work with the Site and Caretaking Coordinator to carry out safety checks, oversee fire alarm testing and ensure compliance with regulations.

Watling Academy was judged as 'Outstanding' by OFSTED in May 2023 and is a purpose-built 11-18 secondary school which opened in 2020, located within the Whitehouse development on the western expansion area of Milton Keynes. The Academy will have 1800 students when at full capacity. Watling Academy is part of the Denbigh Alliance MAT.

The Denbigh Alliance has a track record of delivering academic success in subjects which offer students a real currency to progress into higher education or employment. We consistently outperform the Milton Keynes and national averages in terms of the results our students achieve. This academic success is built on the supportive, well-disciplined and dynamic learning environment we provide, which enables our students to focus on their studies. We believe that for a School to succeed there needs to be a genuine spirit of partnership between students, the School and parents.

We are a Maths Hub, Computing Hub and SCITT and amongst the best in the country in terms of raising standards, both within our Trust and in the schools that we support.
