Permanent, 22.5 hours per week
Full Year
Small enough to care, big enough to make a positive impact
This is an exciting opportunity to join our federation of three schools delivering a seamless education to 9-18 year olds throughout Seaton Valley in south-east Northumberland.
We are seeking a skilled Caretaker / Handyperson to join our hardworking premises team to ensure the smooth running of the schools. The role is part time, full year. The working days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 7am to 3pm with a 30 minute lunch break, although this pattern may change from time to time to meet the operational needs of the schools. Our caretaking team also cover weekend Lettings on a rota basis, opening and closing the school for our community users. This is paid separately, and more information will be provided regarding this if you are invited for an interview.
You will have a background in maintenance, facilities or caretaking and be able to act quickly and prioritise a busy workload. This is a varied, challenging and interesting role, which will require flexibility and the ability to work very well within a team. You will need to be able to manage a daily workload of locking and securing all doors, windows and gates, activating and deactivating the alarm systems, maintenance checks, planned maintenance repairs and reactive maintenance, dealing with contractors on site, carrying out health and safety checks and completing the associated paperwork.
The successful candidate will need to have or complete a Pool Plant Operator certificate to complete the daily testing and maintenance of the swimming pool. This is a 3 day course, with follow up work based assignments. The federation will arrange this for the successful candidate.
Visits to our schools are also warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Janet Das, Business Manager on 0191 2371505 to make an appointment.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. It is essential that all staff and volunteers share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service is required for all posts.
