Start Date: ASAP (Immediate Start) Contract: Full-time, Permanent Salary: Paid to scale School Caretaker A welcoming Primary School in Solihull is seeking a professional and highly organised School Caretaker to join their experienced site support team. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a well-structured and supportive school environment where site staff play an essential role in creating a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for young learners. The successful candidate will provide day-to-day maintenance and security support across the school site and assist senior leaders, teaching staff, and wider office teams. Responsibilities will include carrying out reactive handyperson tasks, updating compliance logs, managing legionella and fire alarm testing records, coordinating refuse disposal, and assisting with the locking/unlocking of the school gates, porterage, and emergency cleaning operations.
