What skills and experience we're looking for
An exciting position has arisen at TWGSB for a suitably skilled, reliable and self-motivated Caretaker to join our friendly and well-respected Site team. This role will be working at both campuses.
This position will be responsible for assisting in the cleaning, maintenance and caretaking activities at the school, as directed by the Facilities Manager and Head Caretaker. They will be expected to have experience in building maintenance and cleaning and skills in a number of caretaking disciplines.
The successful candidate will need to be flexible and self-motivated, have good communication skills and a good understanding of the health and safety requirements of a large site.
