Recruitment for education and the public sector

Are you a practical, hands‑on caretaker who takes pride in keeping a site safe, clean and running smoothly?

About the Role

As a Caretaker, you'll help keep the premises of a further education provider secure, well maintained and ready for staff and learners each day. You'll be a visible, dependable presence around the site, dealing with issues as they arise and making sure the environment supports good teaching and learning.

You'll work alongside the wider estates and facilities team, carrying out routine checks and minor repairs, and responding to day-to-day requests from across the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Opening and securing the premises and carrying out routine site checks.
  • Completing minor repairs and general maintenance tasks.
  • Reporting faults, hazards and maintenance issues to the appropriate team.
  • Supporting with room set-ups, deliveries and the movement of furniture and equipment.
  • Helping to keep internal and external areas clean, tidy and safe.
What We're Looking For
  • Previous caretaking, site or general maintenance experience
  • Practical skills across a range of basic repair and maintenance tasks
  • A reliable, flexible approach and the ability to work on your own initiative
  • An awareness of health and safety in a working environment
Desirable (but not essential):
  • Experience of working on an education or other public sector site
  • A relevant health and safety or maintenance qualification

If you're ready to take pride in a site that hundreds of learners rely on every day, we'd love to hear from you.

A real person, not an automated email. If we are not the right fit for you we will say so quickly rather than leave you waiting.

  • Previous caretaking, site or general maintenance experience
  • Practical skills across a range of basic repair and maintenance tasks
  • Reliable, flexible approach and ability to work on own initiative
  • Awareness of health and safety in a working environment
