About the role

Could you be the friendly face behind a safe, clean and welcoming school environment?

As Caretaker of Meadow Campus, where both Scoill Vallajeelt and St. Thomas’ CE Primary School are co-located, you'll play a vital role in keeping the site running smoothly every day. You'll lead the caretaking and cleaning team, maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene, oversee the security of the premises, carry out routine maintenance tasks, and help ensure the campus remains safe, secure and ready for pupils, staff and visitors.

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of a busy and varied campus where no two days are the same. You'll use your organisational, practical and people skills to make a visible difference, while working closely with colleagues across the school community. If you enjoy working independently, solving problems, using your initiative and taking pride in a job well done, you'll find real satisfaction in helping create an environment where students and staff can thrive.
