Midsomer Norton Primary School is in the heart of the local community. The successful candidate will join a dedicated, hard-working, friendly and supportive staff team where both children and staff can thrive.

We are seeking to appoint practical and cheerful well-motivated people for the posts of Caretaker and Cleaner in Charge with a possibility of them being combined into one role. The post holder(s) will ensure our school provides a safe and welcoming environment for our children, staff and visitors.

The two posts are as follows:

Caretaker – 6.45 – 9.15 Monday – Friday, all year round, 12.5hrs p/w or 17.5hrs p/w with closing at the end of the day.

Cleaner in Charge – 3.00pm – 5.30pm, term time only, 12.5hrs p/w or 17.5hrs p/w with closing at the end of the day.

Closing times: 5.30pm – 6.30pm Monday - Friday (there is flexibility in these times).

Please indicate on your application if you would be interested in applying for both of these roles (30 hours per week).

Also please indicate on your application if you would be happy to work the extended hours as we require either the Caretaker or Cleaner in Charge to close the school each day between 5.30 pm – 6.30 pm.
