What skills and experience we're looking for
An exciting opportunity to join our team with our OUTSTANDING school (OFSTED January 2024).
Millstead is a primary special school with a community of fantastic children who have a wide range of interests, abilities and additional needs (including severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties, sensory impairments and autism). We relocated to our purpose-built school building in September 2014. The facilities include a hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, immersive suite, sensory integration room and 2 playgrounds.
We are looking to appoint a full-time caretaker to join our premises management team to provide caretaking, security, maintenance and supporting with repair works across the school site. This role will support and complement the work of the Senior Leadership Team to ensure that day-to-day operations run smoothly.
The candidate should be an enthusiastic, conscientious and self-motivated person who would like to provide a key role in maintaining our school site, to ensure a welcoming and safe environment for the whole school community. This is a ‘hands on’ and physical role. The successful candidate will have a broad range of demonstrable repairs, maintenance and caretaking skills, in addition to good computer literacy. The candidate should be able to work independently and be self-motivated but also be able to work as part of a team, have good communication skills and have a commitment to high standards.
What the school offers its staff
The successful candidate will work with a talented and friendly staff team who are both forward thinking and innovative, and who have high expectations of themselves to ensure the day to day operations run smoothly.
