St Joseph's RC Primary School Manchester · Manchester, North West
The Governing Body of St Joseph’s RC Primary School are seeking
to appoint an exceptional caretaker for this friendly and forward thinking
school. An approachable, reliable and flexible person is required for
undertaking this rewarding and busy role within our school. We require a team
player with a ‘can do’ attitude who is a handy problem-solver, well–organised
and thorough in their work. The post requires a competent individual who will keep site
security at the forefront, operate alarm systems as well as respond to possible
call outs and provide emergency access to the site. The position requires
effective maintenance of the building and grounds. Routine duties are to keep the
site orderly, clean and safe with daily, weekly and monthly checks as set out
through Health and Safety guidance (e.g. emergency lighting checks, water
temperature checks, playground equipment checks, litter-picking, leaf fall
removal, recycling and waste arrangements, topping up soap and towels,
decorating and maintenance of the flooring etc.). There may be other jobs which are needed from
time to time such as new furniture assembly, painting, covering school events
or lettings. Experience of the caretaking, site security, maintenance would
be desirable. Our building is old and requires care and sometimes repair so a handyperson
knowhow is essential. A willingness to undertake appropriate training is also
essential. Having asbestos awareness training would be an advantage, but
training can be arranged. A commitment to safe working so that we can empower
pupils to achieve success is essential. The school is committed to
safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects
all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
