Job overview

CARETAKER

37 hours per week, 52 weeks per annum

£20,380 - £24,222 per annum, depending on experience and skills


We are looking for a reliable, energetic and organised Caretaker to join our busy team as soon as possible. The ideal candidate will be organised, friendly and a team player and will be willing to work hard around the school site, and use common sense to help keep the site safe, clean and in good repair.    

Responsibilities will include caretaking duties, maintenance work (including the grounds), some general and emergency cleaning, emergency repairs, portering and liaising with contractors and school users.  Previous experience in a similar role is desirable but not essential.  Additional skills, such as DIY, painting and decorating, would be useful.  

We are ideally looking for someone who could work Monday to Friday, and who is happy to work a shift pattern (our opening times are between 6am and 9.30pm), including weekends (likely to be once every 3-4 weeks).  A flexible approach and a willingness to occasionally cover colleagues will be helpful, especially during particularly busy periods, annual leave and absence.  Applicants must be fit and healthy.  A clean driving licence would be useful, but not essential. 

If you are a team player with a flexible approach and a positive, can-do attitude, and would like to find out more about any of these positions, please go to www.radcliffeschool.org.uk to download information about the post and an application form. The deadline for applications is Monday 22 November 2021.

The Radcliffe School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post requires an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure. We are an equal opportunities employer.
