We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Caretaker who will support the school on a Saturday, overseeing the out of hours' usage, ensuring the school is opened and closed on time as well as general maintenance duties, including painting.



Llanwern High School is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school serving much of the eastern side of Newport. We are housed in a new building that provides a learning environment and facilities appropriate for a 21st century school. We currently have just over 1100 pupils on roll.



We believe that education should be about preparing young people with the key skills and behaviours that they will need for a successful future, hence our school vision of "Nurture, Growth, Success for All".



We pride ourselves on the wider opportunities to support pupil development outside of the classroom, such as our recent production of Grease, our Cultural Showcase, alongside regular sporting fixtures. We have a pupil leadership team that is actively involved in decision making across the school and supporting community projects.



In 2022, we were the proud recipients of the inaugural Betty Campbell MBE award for promoting the contributions and perspectives of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. We are a school that fosters an environment of kindness and respect built upon the positive relationships between pupils and staff.



At Llanwern High school you would be part of a supportive school environment with staff wellbeing high in our priorities. We provide high-quality support for colleagues at all stages of their careers, with bespoke professional learning from both internal and external providers.
