Are you ready to step into a key role where your work genuinely makes a difference every single day?

We're looking for a proactive, hands-on School Caretaker to join our welcoming alternative provision school in Hatfield. This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a full-time position immediately, with a paid handover period during the Easter break to help you get started with confidence.

This role is critical to the smooth running of the school, offering real ownership of the site while benefiting from flexible split shifts. For the right person, there is a clear pathway for this position to become a permanent role in the next academic year.

Please note: A driver is essential due to split shifts and occasional travel to our St Albans site.

Competitive salary of up to £31,200 per year
Paid holidays year-round, including Christmas closure
Flexible working pattern with split shifts
Supportive, close-knit school environment
Strong potential for a permanent long-term role
Immediate start with paid onboarding

What You'll Be Doing

Opening the school site from 7:30am and securing it at the end of the day
Taking responsibility for site safety, security, and overall upkeep
Carrying out basic maintenance and minor repairs
Maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment
Supporting health and safety checks and compliance
Occasional travel to support the St Albans site

What We're Looking For

Reliable, punctual, and trustworthy
Practical and hands-on with basic DIY or maintenance skills
Able to work independently and manage workload effectively
Friendly, professional, and a strong communicator
Flexible with working hours (split shifts)
Full driving licence preferred
