Caretaker required…. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Caretaker to join Broadwater Down

A vacancy is available for a suitable skilled, reliable, enthusiastic and self-motivated person to join our friendly and dedicated team.

Duties will include general maintenance of the building and grounds, hygiene control across all areas of the school, general security and site safety and some cleaning as required. You will be a key holder for the site, and some unsocial hours may be occasionally required.

The applicant is likely to have had previous experience of premises and general maintenance, should be physically fit, enjoy working as part of a team in a school setting and be a confident communicator. There will be a need for good time management, to prioritise duties and work on their own initiative. The successful candidate will ensure our school site is maintained to the highest standard to offer all our children the best learning environment both indoors and out. The applicant will work closely alongside the Site Manager.

Information about the school

We are a small local primary school who believe in community, diversity and excellence. We are an integral part of the community around us and enjoy the close relationships we have with pupils and their families.

In school, kindness and emotional well-being are at the core of everything we do for the children in our care. The team support each other to enrich pupils' lives with interesting learning experiences tailored to meet children's needs and contexts.

In October 2024, the school was given a Nurturing Schools Award by Nurture UK, in recognition of the work that we do to support children's mental well-being and emotional literacy.

Working at Broadwater you will find colleagues who are positive, supportive and eager to collaborate, striving to achieve the very best for the children in our care. You will find pupils who are curious, friendly and vibrant who have a wide range of cultural backgrounds and experiences which come together to form a magical school community.

We are situated near the Pantiles end of Tunbridge Wells and we are lucky to have a large site with lots of outdoor space such as a field, big playground, class outdoor areas and a courtyard. Currently, we have six classes from Reception to Year 6 with around 130 pupils on roll.

A March 2023 OFSTED inspection graded the school as good in all areas.
