Are you someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining high standards, and wants a role where no two days are the same?

A group of well-regarded schools in Wiltshire is looking to appoint a School Caretaker to join its Estates team on a full-time, permanent basis. Working across multiple sites, you'll play a vital role in ensuring schools remain safe, welcoming, and well maintained for pupils, staff, and visitors.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in caretaking, facilities, maintenance, or property services who enjoys variety and wants to make a visible impact every day.

The Role

Working alongside the Estates Lead and school teams, you'll support the smooth running of school sites through planned maintenance, repairs, and compliance activities.

Responsibilities include:

• Carrying out general maintenance and repair work

• Completing basic plumbing, decorating, and DIY tasks

• Responding quickly to reactive maintenance issues

• Opening, securing, and monitoring school buildings

• Completing routine health and safety inspections

• Working alongside external contractors on planned works

• Supporting compliance and estates improvement projects

• Providing cover across other schools when required

About the Schools

These welcoming schools are committed to providing safe, positive learning environments where pupils and staff can thrive. The Estates team is highly valued and plays an essential role in supporting the day-to-day operation of every site.

The Successful Candidate

Applications are welcomed from experienced Caretakers, Site Managers, Facilities Assistants, Maintenance Operatives, Building Caretakers, or candidates with transferable maintenance experience.

You'll be practical, reliable, organised, and confident working independently while also enjoying being part of a collaborative team.

Previous school experience is beneficial but certainly not essential.
