Job Description

We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Caretaker Manager in Education to join our team and ensure the optimal upkeep, safety, and smooth operation of our educational facility. In this crucial role, you will be responsible for managing the day-to-day maintenance of the school premises, overseeing cleaning and security staff, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. The successful candidate will act as the primary point of contact for all site-related matters, carrying out regular inspections, scheduling preventative maintenance, and responding swiftly to any issues that may arise. You will also play an essential part in setting up rooms for school events, managing deliveries, and coordinating with external contractors as needed.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a similar caretaking or facilities management role, preferably within an educational setting. Strong organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. A working knowledge of building systems, basic repairs, and health and safety legislation is required. You should be comfortable with managing budgets, maintaining accurate records, and preparing reports. Flexibility is key, as some out-of-hours work may be necessary to accommodate school events or emergencies. An enhanced DBS check will be required for the successful applicant.
If you are a reliable, hands-on individual with a commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for students and staff, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position. Join us in supporting our educational community and helping to provide the best possible learning environment for all.
