A bit about us:

Christ Church Primary is a vibrant, welcoming 2-form entry primary school dedicated to providing a safe, happy, and stimulating environment for our pupils. We take immense pride in our school grounds and are looking for a dedicated, proactive, and practical Caretaker to join our close-knit team. You are a flexible, committed, and hardworking individual who has a good sense of humour, is able to work as part of a team, will support the ethos of the school and who will love and care for our school as much as we do.

All about the role:

As our Caretaker, you will play a vital role in the daily running of the school, working closely with the School Business Manager. You will ensure the security, daily maintenance, and general upkeep of our buildings and grounds. We are incredibly proud to offer an exceptionally well-resourced site, including a fully equipped, high-specification workshop/shed with all the tools and machinery required to carry out the role efficiently.

• Security & Boundary Management: Acting as a joint keyholder to ensure total site security (alarms/call-outs). Undertaking daily site boundary checks to keep paths clear of debris, autumn leaves, slip hazards, and animal fouling.

• Routine Maintenance & Specialist Scopes: Carrying out minor repairs, basic plumbing, painting, and carpentry. While you are expected to handle daily routine repairs, the school will bring in qualified external contractors for any major defects or specialized technical work.

• Health & Safety Compliance: Leading on vital compliance tasks, including weekly fire alarm tests, monthly emergency lighting checks, water temperature testing, flushing little-used outlets, and routine playground/ladder/tree safety inspections.

• Seasonal & Operations Duties: Managing winter gritting preparation, clearing gutters and drains, taking deliveries/porterage, and window cleaning during designated half-terms and summer breaks.

• Hygiene & Core Cleaning: Ordering and maintaining cleaning materials, ensuring cloakrooms are daily stocked with soap and paper products, and undertaking weekly cleaning of a hall floor, alongside emergency clean-ups as required.

• Accountability: Maintaining careful records, proactively following a structured schedule of daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks, and working closely with the School Business Manager.

What We Offer:

• Amazing Pension Scheme: Full access to the highly secure Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), offering a guaranteed, defined benefit income in retirement backed by exceptionally high employer contributions.

• Work-Life Balance: A 42-week contract that allows for structured time off during school holiday periods, with just 15 days of holiday working spread across the year.

• Top-Tier Equipment: A fully kitted-out working environment with excellent tools to make your daily tasks easier.

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.
