Job Description:

Are you practical, reliable and someone who takes pride in keeping a school running smoothly?

Tradewind Recruitment is looking for a School Caretaker to support a welcoming primary school in the WA4 area of Warrington. This is a practical role suited to someone with good common sense, a friendly personality and a hands-on approach.

The school is looking for someone who can take responsibility for the day-to-day tasks that help the school operate safely and efficiently. Previous experience as a School Caretaker, Site Assistant, Maintenance Assistant or in a similar practical role would be useful, but attitude and reliability are just as important.

This role is to start immediately on an ongoing basis covering long-term illness.

• Open the school each morning and help ensure the site is ready for the school day
• Refill toilet rolls and other essential supplies around the school
• Put lunch tables out and assist with setting up different areas
• Move furniture, equipment and other items around the school as required
• Receive and organise deliveries
• Carry out basic equipment and grounds checks
• Put traffic safety barriers/signage out in the morning and bring them back in
• Open and close gates for parents at various points throughout the day
• Help with general maintenance and site-related tasks as needed
• Support the school with practical jobs that arise during the day

The hours can be flexible. The school can consider a split shift of 7.30am-11.00am and 2.15pm-6.00pm, but would also consider someone working from 7.30am onwards depending on availability.

This School Caretaker role would suit someone who is dependable, practical and comfortable getting stuck into whatever needs doing. You don't necessarily need extensive maintenance experience - the school is looking for someone with common sense, a positive attitude and a bit of personality who can work well around staff, pupils and parents.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to work within a primary school environment in Warrington, with the potential to become an important part of the school's day-to-day operations.

• Be reliable, punctual and organised
• Have a practical, hands-on approach
• Be confident working independently and using your initiative
• Have good common sense and attention to detail
• Be approachable and comfortable working around children, staff and parents
• Have previous caretaking, maintenance, site or facilities experience where possible
• Be willing to complete the necessary safeguarding checks

Tradewind Recruitment can offer competitive rates of pay, access to free CPD through The National College and dedicated support from an experienced education consultant.

If you're looking for a practical School Caretaker position in a friendly primary school in WA4 Warrington, we'd love to hear from you.
