Job overview
The Headteacher and Trustees of NGHS are looking to appoint a Caretaker to join an experienced site team from July 2024.
This is a permanent post, term-time only plus 4 weeks. The successful postholder will work 30 hours a week on a rotating shift pattern either starting at 7:00am until early afternoon or starting mid-morning until 7:00pm. This is most likely to vary but we will consider candidates who can only work one particular shift. Flexibility to cover larger evening events and some very occasional weekend overtime will be expected (overtime work is supplemented financially). The starting salary will be £17,574 (NJC Scale 3).
The postholder will be line managed by our Site Manager.
Experience in a trade such as joinery, plumbing, painting/decorating etc., would be helpful but is not essential. Manual handling, ladder training, COSHH and CLEAPS training can be provided as necessary. A first aid qualification alongside some site security experience would also be beneficial.
Newport Girls' High School is an outstanding girls' grammar school. We were inspected by Ofsted in November 2022 and the school was judged outstanding in every category, placing us in the top 3% of schools. We are also the 2020 West Midlands Secondary School of the Year and have recently won a number of accolades rewarding our work in supporting Mental Health, Holocaust Education, the Be Kind Award and the AcSEED Award.
All staff are highly valued at NGHS. We have a dedicated staff wellbeing programme and great camaraderie and support between colleagues and friends in the staff room. We offer extensive CPD opportunities and associate leader positions. The successful post-holder will join the support staff team who are all part of ONE whole-staff team at NGHS.
Please refer to the Candidate Information Pack for more details and feel free to contact the Interim Headteacher, Sophie Webster, for more information and/or the opportunity to visit the school via jobs@nghs.org.uk

In 2019, the School was successful in gaining £2.3m to expand further under the government's Selective Schools Expansion Fund. An additional 30 pupils per year joined the school at Year 7 from September 2021 and an ambitious building programme (dining room, kitchen, science laboratory, computer suite and four classrooms) opened in January 2022.
The school’s sixth form is also open to students from other local schools. Newport Girls' High School converted to an academy in 2012 and operates under its own trust.
