Full Time | Permanent

Closing date: 5 October 2026, 8am

Interview date: w/c 5 October 2026

Start date: ASAP

Salary: Grade 5 (£26,427 - £27,274 pro rata)

Hours: 37, 52 weeks

Contract: Permanent

Are you practical, reliable and take pride in creating a safe and welcoming environment for children and staff? We are looking for an enthusiastic and dependable Caretaker to join our school team (Watlington Primary School and Icknield Community College) and play an important role in ensuring our school site is safe, secure, clean and well maintained. This is a varied and hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys practical work, solving problems and making sure things run smoothly behind the scenes.

What you will be doing

As our Caretaker, you will help to ensure the school buildings, grounds and facilities are maintained to a high standard. Your job description and person specification is attached to this advert. Please do refer to these.

Previous experience in a caretaking, maintenance, facilities or similar role would be advantageous. Relevant practical skills and experience are more important than formal qualifications.

Why join us?

You will be joining a supportive school team where your work will make a real difference every day. As Caretaker, you will play an essential role in creating an environment where children can learn, staff can work effectively and everyone feels safe and welcome.

We offer a supportive working environment, opportunities for training and development, and the opportunity to become an important member of our school community.

You are welcome to contact Lee Warner, Hub Business Manager at [email protected] to have an informal discussion about the role.

As this role is shared between Watlington Primary School and Icknield Community College, we have posted the same advert on both schools’ recruitment pages. You do not need to apply to both. Applying through either school’s recruitment page is sufficient.

Safeguarding Statement:

The Acer Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expects all staff to share this commitment. Any offer of employment with the Acer Trust is subject to verification of ID and qualifications, satisfactory evidence of the right to work in the UK, health clearance, NCTL and Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Check. The Acer Trust is an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from candidates from all ethnic and community backgrounds.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
