Are you an experienced school Caretaker looking for an exciting new opportunity? If so, this could be the role for you!
Working in a team of 3, we have an opportunity for an experienced facilities professional to join our team, here at KGS. Ideally with previous experience in a school or education setting, you will provide an effective and responsive service, ensuring the cleanliness, appearance and security of the school site is maintained to the highest standard.
The core responsibilities of the role include the day-to-day maintenance of the school buildings, grounds and equipment. You will also work with external contractors for both emergency and routine matters and coordinating school and external events. You will also be required to carry out risk assessments and maintain inspection records of all caretaking tasks.
This is a full-time, permanent position working 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, on a rotating shift pattern, with 25 days holiday (rising to 27 days after 5 years' service). In addition, there is also the opportunity to work significant overtime hours. Free school lunches are available during term time.
Salary: Circa £27,000 depending on experience. There will also be significant overtime opportunities.
Prior to interview, an online search will be conducted to identify any past or current incidents or issues that might affect your suitability to work with children and undertake this role. This is in line with guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education. Please note this online search will be carried out only on publicly available information and be limited to issues relating to your suitability to work with children and/or in a school environment. Issues that arise will not automatically be a bar to your employment at this school.
Kingston Grammar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
