School Caretaker ( Site Supervisor)

Due to the promotion of the current post holder, we are seeking to appoint a full-time School Caretaker ( Site Supervisor) to join our experienced premises team.

This is a practical role, with the majority of the working day dedicated to caretaking duties across the site. Responsibilities include carrying out minor repairs and maintenance, completing daily routine tasks such as setting out classroom and hall seating, opening and closing the school site, and providing prompt support to staff and students. This may involve responding to spillages or carrying out urgent repairs to ensure the health and safety of everyone on site.

The role also involves supervising the cleaning teams during their shifts, ensuring they have the appropriate equipment and are aware of any specific areas requiring attention each day. Site Supervisors are responsible for welcoming contractors onto the site and ensuring that correct permits are in place and appropriate supervision is provided while work is carried out.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and is keen to become an integral part of our school community. The successful candidate will be valued for their contribution to the care, safety, and smooth running of the school. They will work alongside a welcoming and experienced team of Site Supervisors and will be managed by the Site and Facilities Manager, who will provide support, training and ongoing development.

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is an exceptional place. We combine strong academic standards, a rich & inspirational curriculum, and a caring & supportive ethos to provide the best education we can for our wonderful students. We also like to think we are a great place to work, and Ofsted agreed. (“Staff are happy and proud to work at the school. Leaders are considerate of staff’s workload and well-being” OFSTED, 2022)

This is an exciting time to join our Site Team as we are looking to develop the Site by increasing our capacity to offer lettings of various facilities across the school site enabling us to offer more facilities to the community whist maintaining and improving the site as a whole.

Lettings are usually booked months in advance and the site staffing for these is incorporated into the shift rota which is discussed at the regular team meetings.

This position is full-time and works on a shift pattern which is usually morning or afternoon/ evening and can include rotated weekends. Shifts are organised well in advance. Additional hours are occasionally available to cover weekend and evening lettings by mutual agreement.
