My client is a reputable special needs school and is looking for an experienced, reliable and professional site operative/school care taker. Permanent 25-30 hours a week, 52-week contract. If you are looking for a rewarding career, apply now.
Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time or more flexible hours across days, evenings or weekends, we’re open to working with the right candidates – especially those with relevant trade experience and a strong sense of personal responsibility.
Your Role Will Include:
* Providing day-to-day site maintenance, caretaking and repair services to ensure a safe, clean, and functional environment.
* Carrying out repairs and minor improvements using practical or trade skills such as carpentry, plumbing, decorating or electrical maintenance.
* Taking the initiative to identify and act on maintenance needs before they become problems – whether it’s a loose hinge, a leaking pipe, or a potential hazard.
* Using your trade experience (e.g. carpentry, plumbing, electrical, decorating) to carry out in-house improvements and repairs.
* Supporting the setup of learning spaces, movement of furniture and equipment, and preparation for events or lettings.
* Completing statutory and mandatory duties including fire alarm testing, water temperature logs, building compliance checks and secure locking procedures.
* Working across school sites and responding flexibly to a varied and evolving workload.
* Being a visible, proactive presence who contributes to the smooth daily running of the school and the safety of pupils and staff.
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
* Has strong practical and trade-based skills, ideally with professional qualifications or demonstrable experience or the willingness to train to gain practical skills.
* Shows initiative, attention to detail, and pride in delivering quality work.
* Is solution focused – actively looks for ways to improve, prevent problems, and keep things running efficiently.
* Understands the importance of site compliance, health & safety, and safeguarding.
* Works well independently but values being part of a supportive team.
* Can travel between our local school sites as needed.
* Wants to contribute meaningfully to a setting that supports vulnerable children and young people
