Temple Hill Primary Academy are looking to recruit a Caretaker.  The post will be for 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, working 10.30am to 6.30pm each day (flexibility is needed to cover the early shift throughout school holidays).  

The purpose of this role is to support the Site Manager and Leadership Team by carrying out a range of caretaking duties including security and supervision of the site and related equipment, and other caretaking duties including porterage, cleaning and maintenance. 

You will be paid Kent Range 5, £20,595 to £21,693 (depending on experience), based on 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.  You will receive 26 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays.  

We have 900 pupils from Nursery to Year 6 with a Specialist Resource Provision for children with Speech & Language needs (SLCN). We offer a short-term Nurture placement for children with Social, Emotional, Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. 29% of children have special needs and 40% of children receive Pupil Premium funding. We pride ourselves on the high-quality provision we offer to all children especially those in vulnerable groups.  

From a Good Ofsted in June 2019, we are now striving to achieve Outstanding. We have a dedicated supportive work force and every single staff member is valued at our school. We offer opportunities for growth within school and the wider Trust.  

We are part of the Galaxy Trust and we work closely with the other schools in the Trust -Fleetdown Primary Academy, Oakfield Primary Academy and West Hill Primary Academy. With approx. 2800 pupils across the four schools there are a number of opportunities for developing the best provision within the area. The Trust values are Respect, Responsibility, Equality and this drives the ethos of all four schools where you can see these values permeate throughout the school communities.

We are the school to work at because we are unique. Children come first whatever their background or their differing needs. We value our staff, we care, we understand. We will support and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. #WeAreTempleHill
