Job description

The Opportunity Bolton is a town with a proud industrial heritage and a fast-growing educational sector. We are seeking a reliable, hands-on, and proactive Caretaker to join a busy premises team within a local school. As a Caretaker, you are the custodian of the school site, ensuring that the buildings and grounds are safe, secure, and maintained to a high standard, providing the best possible environment for pupils to learn. The Role & Department You will work as part of the Site Management team, reporting to the School Business Manager or Premises Manager. The role is diverse and active, requiring a "can-do" attitude to manage everything from emergency repairs to daily health and safety checks. You will be a key presence on-site, often acting as the first point of contact for contractors and deliveries. This position typically involves a split-shift pattern (e.g., 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM) to manage the opening and closing of the school. Core Responsibilities Site Security: Responsible for the daily unlocking and locking of school buildings and gates, ensuring all intruder alarms and fire doors are fully operational. General Maintenance: Carrying out essential "first-fix" repairs, including minor plumbing (unblocking sinks), carpentry, painting, and decorating to keep the site in top condition. Health & Safety Compliance: Conducting and recording regular safety inspections, including fire alarm testing, emergency lighting checks, and water temperature monitoring (Legionella prevention). Grounds Upkeep: Ensuring the school grounds, car parks, and play areas are clean, tidy, and free of hazards. This includes gritting and snow clearance during the winter months to keep the site accessible. Porterage: Moving furniture and equipment to set up for assemblies, examinations, and evening school events or community lettings. The Successful Candidate We are looking for a practical individual who takes pride in maintaining a professional environment. Requirements include: Experience: Previous experience in caretaking, site maintenance, or a manual trade (e.g., joinery or plumbing) is highly desirable. Problem Solving: The ability to identify maintenance issues early and find practical, cost-effective solutions. Reliability: A trustworthy and punctual nature, with the physical fitness required to navigate a large site and handle heavy lifting. Communication: A friendly and professional manner when interacting with staff, pupils, and external visitors. Why Join Us? A stable and vital role within a supportive school community where your work has a direct impact on pupil well-being. Access to professional training in areas such as Health & Safety, COSHH, and manual handling. The opportunity to work in a town with a strong sense of community and excellent transport links across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. A sense of purpose in maintaining a safe and welcoming space for the next generation. How to Apply Please submit your current CV to begin the application process for this Caretaker position.
