Caretakers

The hours of work are 37 per week, Monday to Friday, split shifts. Your times of work will be 7.00am - 10.30am and 2.00pm - 6.00pm (variable to meet the needs of the service).

With responsibility for the care, security and operational effectiveness in our teams, our caretakers have a very important role in supporting our schools.

Our Caretakers undertake a wide variety of tasks and responsibilities from being key holders, organising contractors to carry out repairs, storage of cleaning equipment, ventilation management, grounds maintenance and much more.

Our Caretakers need to demonstrate a good working practice of the cleaning sector and be able to work with safe working practices utilising their knowledge of health and safety procedures and hazards.

Because our caretakers work with a wide range of people inside and outside the school good communication skills and the ability to handle situations sensitively is a must. Organisation is important for our caretakers, whether that be for the organisation of work with and through others, or for completing routine paperwork.
