Purpose of the role

Trinity Academy is a highly oversubscribed free school that opened in 2019. We are a values based community that focuses on the learning of all students and staff, that cares deeply for our young people and each other and that is committed to co-curricular enrichment. 

This is a unique opportunity to join a growing team committed to running and maintaining an outstanding new building.   In August 2021, the school moved into a £24m new build with state of the art facilities.   The school’s vision is that the building will become a central hub for the local community as well as generating essential income for the school.  As such, the building is let out to a vast array of community groups in the evenings and at the weekends.   You will join the Site Manager and another Caretaker in helping to maintain the building in its pristine state and oversee the community groups using the building out of school hours. 

Applications are welcome from experienced caretakers or people who have a proven track record in managing sites. We are looking for a highly trustworthy and self-motivated individual  who is happy to work on their own for much of the time.   You will be passionate about maintaining the current state of the building and comfortable with carrying out a range of compliance checks.   There may be opportunities for overtime and longer working days at the weekends when the building is open to large lets such as concerts and religious celebrations.
