The Residential Maintenance Operative/Caretaker will be an integral member of the Maintenance Team.  The core purpose of the Maintenance team is to ensure that the fabric of the school and grounds is both maintained and improved to a high standard thereby positively adding to the overall impression of the school for staff, parents, pupils and visitors alike.  The actual tasks will be varied and wide ranging and will include day to day maintenance of buildings and improvement projects, site security and assisting with external lets.
