Full Job Description

This is a residential role and an extremely exciting opportunity to be part of a small team providing services across the boarding school site and, on occasion, at off-site locations. With exception to the site security elements, the duties scheduled below will be shared on a rota basis with other members of the team. Caretaker and Estates Operative services encompass first line maintenance, security, caretaking, lettings and transport support responsibilities within a residential school environment.

The post holder will support the safeguarding and welfare of boarding and day pupils, assisting staff in maintaining a safe, secure, compliant and well-managed environment.

In addition, the post holder will support the School's commercial lettings programme by assisting with the preparation, opening, supervision, and securing of facilities used by external hirers and visitors. They will be a welcoming and supportive presence particularly during the holiday periods.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute positively to the wider life of the boarding school community and promote the School's commitment to safeguarding, pastoral care, and pupil wellbeing.

The role includes a requirement to reside on site and contribute to a general on-site presence, supporting the overall safety and security of the premises. This may include providing informal site supervision and offering assistance in emergency situations where reasonably required. However, the post-holder is not expected to remain on site at all times, and reasonable periods away from site are fully anticipated.
