Some knowledge of plumbing and electrical work would be desirable to carry out basic maintenance and repairs. The Caretaker is responsible to the Headteacher, Office Manager and Governors for a high level of maintenance of the buildings and site, (including certain technical and administration duties), to ensure their most cost-effective use, and to contribute towards the Governing Body's objectives of achieving greater value for money.
