A well-established faith secondary school in Blackburn is seeking a reliable and proactive Caretaker to join the site team with an ASAP start. This is a key role within the school, ensuring that the premises remain safe, secure, and welcoming for students, staff, and visitors throughout the school day and beyond.
This school is known locally for its strong community ethos, respectful environment, and commitment to maintaining a clean and well-presented learning space. The site team plays a vital role in supporting the smooth running of daily school life, and the successful candidate will be joining a supportive and cooperative staff team.
About the Role
The Caretaker will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day maintenance and security of the school site. This includes opening and closing the premises, carrying out routine checks, and ensuring that facilities remain safe and operational. The role is hands-on and varied, offering the opportunity to take ownership of site standards and contribute to a positive school environment.
You will work closely with the Facilities or Site Manager and assist with responding to maintenance requests, preparing rooms for events, and ensuring health and safety procedures are followed consistently. The role requires good practical skills, reliability, and the ability to respond calmly to unexpected issues.
Key Responsibilities
Opening and closing the school premises in line with agreed schedules
Carrying out routine maintenance checks and minor repairs where appropriate
Ensuring the school grounds and buildings are clean, safe, and secure
Supporting the setup of classrooms, halls, and spaces for assemblies or events
Monitoring heating, lighting, and alarm systems
Reporting any faults, hazards, or damage promptly
Assisting with deliveries and movement of furniture or equipment
Supporting health and safety compliance across the site
About the School
This faith secondary school provides a structured and respectful learning environment where community values are at the heart of daily life. The school maintains high standards of behaviour and presentation, and the site team plays an essential role in ensuring the physical environment reflects those expectations. Staff benefit from a supportive leadership team and a culture built on cooperation and mutual respect.
What We Are Looking For
The ideal candidate will be practical, dependable, and able to work independently as well as part of a team. Previous experience in a caretaker, premises, or facilities role is desirable but not essential. A willingness to learn, good problem-solving skills, and attention to detail are important qualities for success in this role.
You should be comfortable working in a school environment and committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming space for students and staff.
Next Steps
If you are interested in this opportunity and available to start as soon as possible, please submit your CV to be considered for this role. Further details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
