About this Role
Come and join an estates team where you’ll be fully supported and trained, provided with a high-quality uniform, and enjoy access to a health and wellbeing package. This is a great opportunity to take pride in maintaining a safe, welcoming environment for our school community.
Responsibilities cover general caretaking duties including opening and closing the premises, basic maintenance and repairs, waste management, emergency call outs and Health and Safety and compliance checks, along with some cleaning duties. Duties will also include ensuring that a high standard of cleanliness and security is maintained to support and safeguard the welfare of all persons using the school premises.
There will be some paperwork e.g. check lists of work completed, record keeping e.g. fire safety logs.
Typical responsibilities are to manage Health and Safety e.g. legionella safety (contractors and some routine flushing work), fire safety including being a fire marshal, visual checks of surfaces, play equipment and signage, checking for lighting and electrical faults and managing COSHH registers. Preparing the site safely after frost or snow will also be necessary.
Other responsibilities will include opening and closing the school, portaging, cleaning up bodily fluids, managing waste, some simple routine grounds maintenance as well as managing grounds maintenance contractors.
We are looking for a person that can work well on their own initiative and can identify issues themselves and remedy them before needing to be asked.

You will be welcomed into a team committed to continually raising standards and upholding the distinctive ethos of this friendly and inclusive school.
