Job description

CORE PURPOSE

We require a practical, reliable Caretaker to support the day-to-day operational upkeep, security, and cleanliness of our all-through campus. Operating within a supportive facilities team, the successful candidate will carry out essential maintenance, security routines, porterage duties, and statutory compliance checks to ensure a safe, functional environment for students, staff, and visitors across all key stages.

THE SCHOOL

An All-Through academy located in Slough, Berkshire. The school operates with a centralized behaviour system managed by senior leadership to maintain a calm, structured, and respectful environment across the site. The estates team works collaboratively, using digital task-logging tools to ensure maintenance requests are prioritized fairly and facilities run smoothly throughout the school day.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

  • Site Security & Access: Manage daily opening and locking-up procedures, securing perimeter gates, checking primary/secondary grounds, and setting intruder alarms.

  • General Maintenance & Repairs: Perform first-line general maintenance, painting, basic carpentry, plumbing repairs, and unblocking fixtures to keep classroom facilities in excellent condition.

  • Statutory Compliance Checks: Complete routine health and safety checks, including weekly fire alarm testing, emergency lighting checks, and water temperature monitoring (legionella flushing), recording data in digital compliance logs.

  • Porterage & Event Setup: Handle delivery distribution, moving furniture, and setting up main halls for assemblies, examinations, performance events, and evening community lettings.

  • Grounds & Exterior Upkeep: Oversee campus grounds cleanliness, ensuring walkways, play areas, and entrances remain free of hazards, litter, and adverse weather risks (salting pathways in winter).

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

  • Qualifications: A basic health and safety or manual handling certificate is desirable. A full, clean UK driving license is advantageous.

  • Experience: Practical experience in caretaking, general DIY, building maintenance, or site operations, ideally within an educational or community facility setting.

  • Skills: Strong practical handyperson skills, self-motivation, clear communication with school staff and visitors, and a reliable, flexible working style.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

  • Local Area & Community: Based in the bustling Berkshire town of Slough, the school serves a diverse and ambitious local community. Positioned along the Thames Valley, the area combines major business hubs, historic sites like nearby Windsor, expansive green spaces such as Upton Court Park, and a supportive network of local families.

  • Transport & Commuting: Slough benefits from outstanding regional transport connections, situated with immediate access to the M4 (Junction 6/7), M25, and M40 motorway corridors. Transit connectivity is exceptional, with comprehensive local bus networks and direct Elizabeth line and Great Western Railway train services from Slough Station, offering swift routes into London Paddington, Reading, and Heathrow Airport.
