Caretaker - New Christ Church CofE Primary School

Permanent role

27.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 52 weeks per year
24 days holiday entitlement per year (pro-rata in first year)

New Christ Church Primary is a small, one form entry school, just outside Reading town centre.

A vacancy has arisen for a Caretaker to support the operations of the school site, perform Health & Safety statutory testing and to carry out proactive and reactive premises improvements, to include general repairs/maintenance works, painting and basic plumbing and carpentry.

You will have the ability to prioritise tasks and to work positively with a variety of different people.   A sense of humour is a must!

This is a permanent, all year round position – ideally you will work the 27.5 hours in split shifts to allow for the daily opening/closing of the school premises, however, the definitive work pattern will be agreed with the successful candidate.

• Access to a staff well-being package
• Ongoing training
• Ongoing support from an experienced Multi-Academy Trust
