Are you passionate about creating and maintaining safe, welcoming environments where children can thrive? We are seeking a dedicated Caretaker to work across our neighbouring school sites starting January 2025 but sooner for the right candidate.
Our schools, while united by common values and aspirations, each boast their own unique cultures and are both at the heart of our community.

• Security: Ensuring that the premises are secure, managing keys, and helping to oversee access to the schools.
• Environment: Keeping the schools (both internally and externally) clean and tidy, ensuring that all areas are well-presented and welcoming.
• Driving: There is a contractual requirement for the successful candidate who is a designated ‘essential user’ to have their own vehicle at their disposal throughout the working day, this will be on a daily basis. As such, this post attracts a driving allowance of £453 per annum.
What We Offer:
• A Supportive Community: Work within a team that values collaboration and mutual respect.
• Professional Development: Opportunities for training and growth within our multi-academy trust.
• A Dynamic Work Environment: Engage with two distinct school cultures, each bringing its own rewarding experiences.

• Most importantly, you will share our commitment to creating a wonderful learning environment for all our children.
