We wish to appoint someone who is active, versatile, well organised, enthusiastic, reliable and has excellent communication skills. Applicants will need to demonstrate the ability to work well under pressure. Any general plumbing, electrical or carpentry skills would also be an advantage.

Please note that this would be open as an apprenticeship post, however this would involve different terms and salary and would be full time hours.  Please do contact us if this would be of interest to you.

We require self-motivated candidates who will work as part of a team with the Site Manager, part-time caretakers and contract cleaners to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for the pupils and staff. The successful candidate will report to the Site Manager.

The work will involve all aspects of caretaking, cleaning and facilities management. The position is physical in nature and includes working outside. You should therefore, be comfortable lifting furniture and equipment to statutory limits although the necessary manual handling training will be provided.

As an employee of the Coppice Primary Partnership Trust, although your usual place of work will be Loose Primary School, you may be asked to work at other locations within the Trust upon reasonable notice being given and by mutual agreement.

In addition to the hours stated, you might be required to work some evenings / weekends as agreed, for which overtime payment will be made.

Salary: KR3, £19,293 FTE (paid pro-rata, equivalent to £10 per hour) with allocated 26 days holiday which can be taken at any time, although ideally in term time.

As an employee of Coppice Primary Partnership, you would be entitled to priority child places within the school as well as free extended services provision.

The school is fully committed to the safeguarding of children, therefore all staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check by the Disclosure and Barring Service along with other relevant employment checks.

Applications via the online application form please.
