The Opportunity Are you a practical, hands-on professional who takes pride in creating a safe, clean, and functional environment? Can you be the backbone of a busy school site in the heart of the East Midlands? We are seeking a reliable and versatile School Caretaker to join a dedicated site team in Leicester . Known for its rich diversity and its status as a premier sporting and textile hub, Leicester provides a vibrant setting for a community-focused professional. We are looking for an individual who can balance routine maintenance with emergency repairs, ensuring the school remains a top-tier learning environment for every student. Core Responsibilities Site Security: Managing the opening and closing of the school premises, including the setting of alarms and ensuring the site is secure against unauthorised access. General Maintenance: Carrying out first-line repairs and maintenance (plumbing, carpentry, painting, and glazing) to ensure the building remains in excellent condition. Health & Safety Compliance: Conducting regular safety checks, including fire alarm testing, water temperature monitoring (Legionella prevention), and playground equipment inspections. Grounds Upkeep: Ensuring the external areas are tidy and safe, including litter picking, basic gardening, and gritting/snow clearance during winter months to keep the site operational. Contractor Liaison: Supervising external tradespeople and cleaning staff, ensuring that work is carried out to a high standard and within school safety protocols. Porterage & Event Support: Assisting with the movement of furniture and equipment for assemblies, exams, and evening community events or parents' evenings. Why This School? Leicester’s Community Hub: Work in a school that serves as a focal point for a diverse local community, offering a rewarding sense of purpose and local impact. Autonomous & Trusted Role: Benefit from a position that offers a high degree of independence, where your expertise in site management is respected and relied upon. Active Working Environment: Escape the desk with a role that keeps you moving, solving different physical challenges every single day across a sprawling modern campus. Professional Growth: Access to specialist training in IOSH Managing Safely , Fire Warden certification, and COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) awareness. Candidate Profile Experience: Proven experience in a caretaking, facilities, or trade-based role (e.g., DIY, construction, or maintenance) is essential. Technical Skills: A "jack-of-all-trades" ability to handle basic repairs and a comfortable working knowledge of health and safety regulations. Reliability: A highly dependable individual who understands the importance of punctuality, especially for early-morning site openings. Character: A proactive, "can-do" professional who can communicate effectively with staff, students, and visitors while remaining calm under pressure.
